Difficulty will not escape anyone. If you want to renew your passport or ID card, you have to be patient. From the end of 2021, delays in getting an appointment at the municipality exploded, waiting up to six months in some parts of the territory. The situation is so alarming that the government announced an emergency plan to fix the problem in early May 2022. Not enough to clog the queues. According to RDV 360, which offers an online appointment booking service to more than 300 municipalities, wait times reached 76 days in August 2022, three times longer than those recorded by the company a year ago.
Result: over 100,000 people have used the Vitemonpasseport.fr platform in the last 30 days. The website, launched six months ago, lists all appointments available for municipalities in a division. Users looking for a new passport or ID card renewal can book a seat online. As soon as a new one becomes available, they are notified immediately. To date, 1,006 municipalities are providing their meeting dates on the platform, RDV 360, the service’s originator, revealed in a recent press release.
Built on the same model as Quick My Dose, which made it possible to find a slot for a Covid-19 vaccination, Quick My Passport (also written in one word) also aims to combat missed appointments against If the user, who had a meeting with the first municipality, decides to meet a second time with another municipality, the software will block the process, asking to cancel the first meeting.
The site also wants to speed up the process by completing an initial application on the National Agency for Secure Documents (ANTS) website. The purpose: save time for municipal administrative agents. After filling out the various forms with ants, all you have to do is enter your initial request number on the Quickly my passport platform before your appointment. And finally get the much desired identity documents.
