The EU Exit: ID Document Check app lets you confirm your identity online, as part of your application to the EU Settlement Scheme.
By using this app, you will not need to send us your identity document by post.
Who can use the app
You must be resident in the UK and either:
• be a European Economic Area (EEA) or Swiss national
• have an EEA or Swiss national family member, if you are not a national of a country in the EEA or Switzerland
If you are not an EEA or Swiss national, you must have a UK issued biometric residence card or permit (provided you are in the UK) to use this app. If you do not have one, you will need to apply by post instead.
Before you start
You will need to be in a well-lit area, so you can take a good quality photo of yourself.
You will need either:
• your passport or national identity card, if you are an EEA or Swiss national
• your UK issued biometric residence card or permit (provided you are in the UK), if you are not an EEA or Swiss national and have an EEA or Swiss national family member
You need to use:
• an iPhone 7 or newer
• iOS 15 or later
If you use a national identity card without a biometric chip, you can still use this app but will need to send us the card by post.
How it works
1. Take a photo of your identity document.
2. Access the chip in your identity document using your phone.
3. Scan your face using the camera on your phone.
4. Take a photo of yourself for your digital status.
What happens next
The app only helps confirm your identity. You must complete the rest of your application online separately. We'll tell you how to complete your application when you finish using the app.
Privacy and security
The app is safe and secure. Your personal information will not be stored in the app, or on the phone when you finish using it. For information on staying safe online please visit the UK Cyber Aware website.
Tak jak powyzej, potrzebuję miec status imigranta na już a musze już kolejny raz czekać kolejne 24 godziny… Podejrzewam że wersja na Androidzie będzie działać, ponieważ innemu członkowi mojej rodziny zadziałało. Może po prostu na iphonach ta aplikacja ma jakiś problem z nfc…
What a disaster!!!
Chip not found and then chip not found... 20 times or more!!! The worst app ever!!!
Chip
The app has a problem with finding the chip. I’ve tried using it on another phone to make sure it’s the apps fault and the result was the same.
Chip not found
What a disaster
Still does not find a chip
After last update still doesn’t find the chip!!!!
Doesnt find a chip
This app is totally useless. I tried to scan my passport, ID card and it still doesnt work...
Cannot find a chip!
App doesn’t work. It shows an error „Chip not found” right away after starting scan. I doesn’t even give any time to search it with device.
I’ve tried on iPhone 11 and 12 Pro Max. Didn’t work either... Good Luck with getting info UK with hejo of this app...
Chip not found
The app doesn’t read the chip on my document. I’ve tried several times. It shouldn’t lock out the user after just 3 times, it doesn’t make sense.
Bye bye UK
Absolutely worst app I’ve ever used, good job UK gov! You can’t even complete all the steps... guess see you never UK
iOS
Not working on my iPhone 11 pro max. It keeps saying that the phone moved whilst scanning my id. Which isn’t a true. It lays on a solid surface and I even don’t touch it
