LATEST VERSION OF IDENTITÉ NUMÉRIQUE LA POSTE AIMS TO OFFER MORE PROTECTION TO USERS THAN THE EXISTING FRANCECONNECT SYSTEM An increasing number of official and postal procedures have moved
online and, in tandem, a new secure version of the French postal service’s digital ID system, Identité Numérique La Poste, has launched to allow access to many of them. It is not vital to
have this but it is likely to be used more and more in the future. Tasks covered include, for example, confirming reception of online registered post deliveries or signing into your space at
impots.gouv.fr. To create an account, download the _identité numérique_ app or see lidentitenumerique.laposte.fr. You will need some French-initiated ID such as a _carte de séjour_. Once
signed up, each time this is used you will be asked to enter your mobile number and ‘identify’ yourself. You will receive a text message on which you should enter a four-digit number that
you set up when you created your account. This is intended as a more secure version of the existing FranceConnect system whereby you can sign into a number of websites using log-in details
from one of several partner sites. RELATED ARTICLES WEBSITE HELPS FORMER WORKERS IN FRANCE CHECK FOR FORGOTTEN PENSIONS SLOW UPTAKE FOR LA POSTE’S NEW DIGITAL STAMPS IN FRANCE ONLINE HEALTH
