Confirm Your Identity for the EU Settlement Scheme with the EU Exit: ID Document Check App

The EU Exit: ID Document Check app allows you to easily confirm your identity online as part of your application to the EU Settlement Scheme. By using this app, you no longer need to send your identity documents by post, making the process quicker and more convenient.

To use this app, you must be a resident of the UK and either a European Economic Area (EEA) or Swiss national, or a non-EEA/Swiss national with an EEA/Swiss family member. If you do not have a UK-issued biometric residence card or permit, you will need to apply by post. Before you begin, ensure you are in a well-lit area and have the required documents, such as a passport, national identity card, or UK-issued biometric card, ready for the verification process.

Follow these simple steps to complete your identity check:

• Take a photo of your identity document.
• Scan the chip in your identity document with your phone.
• Use your phone’s camera to scan your face.
• Take a photo of yourself to confirm your digital status.

After confirming your identity, you will be guided on how to complete the rest of your EU Settlement Scheme application. Rest assured, your personal information is safe, and no data will be stored on your phone once the process is finished. We recommend using Android 12 or higher for the best experience. For further guidance on staying safe online, visit the UK Cyber Aware website.
