<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.</p><p>The ‘EU Exit: Identity
Document Check’ app is an optional aspect of the service which allows applicants to
prove their identity remotely.</p><p>The app performs a series of digital security
checks on the chip contained within the applicant’s identity document that meets the
international standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
These checks allow us to establish, to a high level of trust, the authenticity of
the identity document and its contents. Where an individual cannot validate their
identity document using the app to make an application to the EU Settlement Scheme,
they can post their identity documents to the Home Office to be checked and returned
quickly.</p><p>The use of the ‘EU Exit: ID Document Check’ app is entirely optional,
but it offers a secure and quick way of making an application to the EU Settlement
Scheme.</p>
