A folding staircase. The folding staircase has a frame with an upper end and a lower end. The upper end of the frame defines a top step. Multiple steps are pivotally connected to the lower end of the frame and pivoting arms connects each of the steps to one another. The frame includes brackets that secure to existing mounting points of a vehicle. At least one step is operably connected to a linear actuator, which is in turn connected to a motor. The motor is operably connected to a control switch. Activation and deactivation of the control switch causes the motor to operate resulting in the unfolding of the steps outwardly to a deployed configuration and folding inwardly to a storage configuration. The folding staircase is utilized to provide a safe method of entering and exiting a vehicle.
