The government is preparing the AMI.gouv mobile app

The government is working on a mobile application designed to make life much easier.

How AMI.gouv will bring public services into one app

The aim of AMI.gouv (Interministerial Mobile Application) is simple: to bring together every digital public-service procedure inside a single mobile app. The project has been developed since the start of the year by the Interministerial Digital Directorate (Dinum) and the Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Dila), as reported by the specialist news outlet Acteurs Publics.

According to their reporting, the app is expected to launch next October. It is currently being trialled by a handful of public bodies, including “the Digital Procedures service, the Acyma public interest group (GIP), which runs Cybermalveillance.gouv, France Services, and the ‘My Security’ service of the national police and the National Gendarmerie”.

Logging in with FranceConnect and the procedures you can complete

In practical terms, users will simply log in via the FranceConnect button (already available when signing in to certain services, such as your tax account). Once connected, they will be able to access procedures such as reporting a lost vehicle, registering a marriage, declaring a change of address, or completing their tax return.

Soon available for businesses?

AMI.gouv has a number of strengths, starting with personalisation: the service will remember your data so the experience can be tailored to you. Based on your location, it will be able to direct you to nearby public services to help resolve an issue or move a case forward.

Similarly, forms will be pre-filled using the information you have already provided. To reduce risk, Acteurs Publics notes that this information will be stored locally on the device and will be sent to government servers as little as possible.

The value of the initiative is therefore that it builds on services that already exist, while bringing them together in one place. Comparable apps are already available in other European countries, including Ukraine, Estonia and the Netherlands, where they make day-to-day life simpler for residents.

While citizens are the priority for now, developers are already considering a further step. By 2027, the idea would be to open the app beyond FranceConnect, enabling organisations (charities and businesses) to carry out their administrative procedures directly within the application.
