France has showcased a solid commitment to advancing digital identity solutions, recognizing their pivotal role in modernizing processes, bolstering security, and enhancing user experiences. The French Parliament has already approved the Digital Republic Bill. This law’s new measures will govern the digital economy, including internet access, open data, and online cooperative economies.

Over the years, the country has consistently emphasized the importance of secure digital identities. Service de Garantie de l'identité numérique (SGIN) has been formally established by the French government agency ANTS.

Apart from such initiatives, the French government has also initiated various collaborations with private-sector entities.

France is actively exploring cutting-edge technologies to augment digital identity solutions.

The French government’s efforts are driving France’s digital identity solutions market.
