NormanH Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 And will also have a chip on it with fingerprints.Up till yesterday the card itself was bigger and had no chip...it also lasted 15 years, but the new one will last 10.https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/actualites/A14894https://www.lefigaro.fr/actualite-france/la-picardie-est-le-deuxieme-departement-francais-a-experimenter-la-nouvelle-carte-d-identite-20210517 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickP Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I really don't understand the reluctance from sections of people in the UK to accept ID cards, probably the same mob who don't want vaccinations of health passes. It's funny that the French who as a nation tend to be anti-authority accept them with It would seem no problems. Am I right in thinking that most EU countries have ID cards?

suein56 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 And along comes the contentious issue of the card being not only in French but in English .. just like the Brexit carte de séjour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 https://www.readid.com/blog/european-identity-cardsTo add a controversial detail voters have to show them when they go to vote, but since everyone is supposed to have one this can't be considered discriminatory.

anotherbanana Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 The CdeS is a sensible size as will be the identity card.Of course UK should have one; unless there is something to hide? To whom it should be shown and when could spark a whole new field of Jurisprudence!Nice try, Norman. Lets see if it bears fruit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lori Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 So, this is different from the Titre de Sejour or is this replacing the Titre de Sejour? If different from TdeS, who carries the ID card? Is it a requirement to have one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 NO don't panic Lori [:D]This is the ID card that French nationals have.The point is that up to now it didn't have the chip with personal information on it that the Titre de Séjour has, and it was a larger size.Now the EU has asked that the card carried by French nationals conforms to EU regulations . Ironically this implies that the CdS is in advance of the National one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alittlebitfrench Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Norman won't know because he never had one, but the original CDS was the same size as a French identity card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardian Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 One fine day, there’ll just be one piece of plastic which deals with ID / Passport + healthcare entitlement (carte vitale) + mutuelle + residency entitlement (TDS) + driving licence + all the other things about you which people / organisations need to know.All that in one card rather than the bucketload that we all have at the moment.Actually, by the time we get to that, things will have moved on so that it’ll just be dab your finger on this reader Monsewer Gardian and its all there!Sadly, I’ll probably have turned my toes up before then.

Gardian Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Blimey Norman!I’ve always said that my thinking was ‘ahead of it’s time’.Strangely, nobody ever believed me. They mostly attributed stuff like ‘stuck in my ways’ and ‘past it’ to my thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 That isn't yet all on one card though it is a sort of 'umbrella' siteI think they may use a ''mobile identity' where you can use a smartphone as ID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lehaut Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Or, as Amazon are trying out, just your fingerprint. I understand some new debit cards are going to incorporate finger print recognition too, which may facilitate a "universal" cardAs an aside, got my new RBS debit card this week. The numbers on it were not raised, as is common on other cards. Used, I remember, to transfer the card details onto the carbon paper in the mechanical payment methods many years ago, but strangely retained, for what reason I know not.

Gyn_Paul Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 So I'm confused now... will we immigrants from that 19th century island off the coast of Europe need, at some stage to upgrade to the new i.d card, or will our CdS's (when we finally get them) be sufficient?And while you're all here...My friend who doesn't speak a lot of French recently went to the S/Prefecture for the fingerprinting etc. and signed her MAIDEN name.Quite apart from the fact that it won't now serve to confirm her identity alongside her driver's licence/bank card/cheque book/passport etc, it's not actually her legal name!Has she just misunderstood the process or is this some mad French Bureaucratic quirk?

NickP Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Immigrants won't get an ID card your CdS is sufficient. The French seem to use a women's maiden name for official things. By the way, that "19th-century" island is still in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
