Zoom mayor's newspaper on our multipass

Straight out of a science fiction film, the MultiPass, technically known as the Multiservice Card, is now a reality. These cards provide access to all local authority services (public transport, media libraries, swimming pools, waste collection centres, car parks, municipal buildings, canteen cards, etc.). They make it easier for citizens to access services, while saving local authorities money (if only on the number of cards issued, reduced to one per person).

The MultiPass, as designed by OTIPASS, the French leader in the digitisation of territorial passports and a pioneer in MultiPass systems, is intended to be a practical tool for local authorities, with a citizen portal for citizens, a card and a mobile application to use their smartphone as a pass, and a back-office for local authority staff that enables them to register users and send them emails or push notifications on the beneficiary mobile application, depending on the services they have subscribed to and in strict compliance with the RGPD. The OTIPASS Multiservices platform complies with the AFNOR AMC (Application Multiservices Citoyenne) standard and is available in the UGAP catalogue!

In addition to considerably reducing the number of cards and therefore having a positive ecological impact (it is estimated that 170 million plastic cards are issued in France each year to access public services), it also facilitates access to services. You only need to subscribe to one card. The "tell us once" principle is finally being applied!
