The EU Exit: ID Document Check app is an incredibly useful tool that allows individuals to verify their identity online when applying to the EU Settlement Scheme. It offers a faster and more secure alternative to mailing in physical ID documents. However, only residents of the UK who are from the EEA or Switzerland, or have a family member from there, are eligible to use the app. Those who are not from the EEA or Switzerland must possess a biometric residence card or permit issued by the UK in order to utilize the app.

Make sure you have your passport or ID card (if you're from the EEA or Switzerland) or your biometric residence card or permit issued by the UK (if you're not from the EEA or Switzerland) before starting to use the app. Find a well-lit area to take a good selfie. The app works by taking a picture of your document, reading the chip on it with your phone, scanning your face with your phone's camera, and then taking a photo of you for your digital profile.

Just to clarify, the app only confirms your identity, but you will still need to complete the rest of your application online. Rest assured, the app is secure and your personal information will not be saved on it or your phone after completion. It is recommended to use the app if you have Android 10 or a later version.

Simply put, the EU Exit: ID Document Check app is extremely useful for individuals looking to apply for the EU Settlement Scheme. It simplifies the process of confirming your identity and eliminates the need to send your documents through traditional mail. Ensure that you meet the app's requirements and have all required documents prepared, along with good lighting for taking a suitable selfie. You can trust that the app is secure and does not retain any of your personal information after use.
