It is one more step towards the digital portfolio that the state has been preparing for several years. After the identity card, the driving license, the vital card or the insurance certificate, it is now the gray card which joins the dematerialized format. No need for the paper document during a check: vehicle information will be available from your smartphone, provided you have installed the France Identity application and have an compatible electronic identity card. The experiment must start in June 2025. If it is conclusive, generalization is expected during the year 2026.
A digital version, but not compulsory
Do not worry about paper enthusiasts: the traditional format will remain valid. No obligation to go digital, at least for the moment. The dematerialized version will be especially useful for equipped drivers, comfortable with online services, and anxious to have all their documents in the same place.
The content of this digital gray card? The essential data of the vehicle: date of first registration, identification number, brand, model … as many info as the police can check in one click.
This development promises simpler steps, less risk of loss or theft, and a small ecological gain. It remains to be seen whether the use will be fluid in the field, especially in the event of a battery or poor connection failure. The authorities ensure that solutions will be provided, and that the transition will be done gradually.
Behind this novelty, it is above all the construction of a real digital identity portfolio that accelerates. And the gray card will only be a link.
