Government of Monaco and IN Groupe – a Solid Partnership for Success

In this next episode of the occasional series of country profiles, Francis Tuffy (Editor of ID & Secure Document News™) took on the hard task of visiting the beautiful Principality of Monaco to find out about the government’s strategy for connected digital identity… and conclude some unfinished business.

Monaco is the second smallest and most densely populated sovereign state in the world. But despite its size it punches above its weight on the world’s stage. And maybe because it is so densely populated it turns out, amongst the motor racing, the yachts and the glamour, to be very good at identity management.

Since the end of June 2021, every Monaco citizen and resident has been able to have a digital identity associated to their new ID card. This digital identity makes verification both easier and highly secure, with no additional proof of identity needed to access the different procedures that citizens may want to initiate with state or private partner services.
