SNCF: you can now use France Identité when checking tickets
Publié le 19 février 2025 - Mise à jour le 15 juillet 2025 - Directorate of Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
Since July 11, 2025, you can present your France Identité application on board an Ouigo train when checking your ticket. This was already possible on board TGV Inoui and Intercités trains since February 13, 2025. Service-Public.fr explains the terms and conditions of this France Identité feature.
An experiment was conducted between January 20 and February 12, 2025, allowing a few thousand users to use the France Identité application on board the TGV Inoui when checking tickets.
This feature is now accessible to all France Identité users who travel with their train ticket booked, and it is extended to Intercités trains. If you have the France Identité application, you can present it at the time of the ticket control carried out on board a TGV Inoui or an Intercités train; thus, you no longer have to show both your train ticket and an identity document.
This system was extended on July 11 to the Ouigo High Speed and Ouigo Classic trains.

You can still use your France Identity application when your mobile phone is “offline”.
