<p>EU citizens make a huge contribution to our economy and society, and we want them
to stay. The EU Settlement Scheme enables them to do so. The ‘EU Exit: Identity Document
Check’ app is an optional aspect of the service which allows applicants to prove their
identity remotely using their biometric identity document and an android smartphone
device.</p><p>The app requires applicants to complete four quick steps – to take a
photo of their identity document photo page, read the chip, complete a liveness check
and take a photo of themselves using the device camera. The app process can be completed
by the applicant alone, or with support from a third party, for example the applicant
can choose to take the photo themselves using the front facing camera, or have a third
party take the photo using the back camera.</p><p>So far, the app has undergone two
separate accessibility audits, the first prior to the beta test phase and the second
during the testing phase. The app development team have implemented recommendations
from both audits, for example enabling users to utilise accessibility tools native
to their device. User Research is ongoing, including with users with specific accessibility
needs and those at the lower end of the digital inclusion scale.</p>
