Testing L'Identité Numérique La Poste

Two methods are available to test the LINLP integration.

👉 The default method is the test account. It covers the majority of integration needs.

User accounts are made directly available by the LINLP team.

Each account comes with a complete dataset (civil identity, ID document, phone number, activation dates) and can be used immediately with a simple username / password.

✅ No mobile application required
✅ Available immediately
✅ 21 varied personas (nationalities, document types, ages, first names)

Test accounts are used like any regular LINLP user account:

1. Trigger the authentication flow from your application
2. Enter the username and password of the test account
3. Validate — the identity data is returned in the token

👉 See the Authorization Code Flow

This method is recommended if you want to simulate the real user journey: account creation from the mobile application, phone verification, activation by code.

It allows you to test scenarios with custom data and behaviour identical to that of a production user.

⚠️ This method requires a prior request to the LINLP team and a processing time of 48 business hours.
