Government Launches First Digital ID

The UK government has introduced the first digital ID as part of a plan to digitalize various forms of identification.

According to the new plans, a digital ID will be required for anyone starting a new job in the UK.

Digital Veteran Cards

The first digital IDs, dubbed digital veteran cards, are available for ex-members of the armed services.

The proposal aims to tackle illegal immigration, with the digital ID set to be part of each citizen's right to live and work in the UK.
