About this app
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
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.
We recommend you use this app on Android 12 or above. For information on staying safe online please visit the UK Cyber Aware website.

It used to work well but when I try to use it now, the questions/instructions are covered by the black menu bar at the top so it's a guessing game to figure out what you're being asked. Not ideal for such an important process. Don't know if it's an issue of not having adapted the app for Android 16 but it needs to be sorted asap.

Terrible - managed to go through the steps. It redirected me to an online form to finish the application. The form session timed out. The app told me it sent me an email with link to the form - which it did not whatsoever, not in my spams neither. So I went back on the app to retry the application - and it won't let me because of my previous attempt. Even after deleting all cache and re-installing the app. Because I tried again, the app locked me out for 24 hours. SHAMEFUL.

It automatically takes pics of docs once you pointe the camera, and there is no option to retake the photo or see the one that was taking. In my case, it messed up, got my surname wrong somehow and even though i starrted over and did it again, the details haven't come through properly.
