UK Government Introduces Digital ID
The UK government has launched its first digital ID today, as part of a plan to digitalize various forms of identification.
A new digital veteran card is now available for ex-members of the armed services, and was showcased at an event at the Tower of London.
This move is part of a larger plan to tackle illegal immigration, with digital IDs set to play a role in citizens' rights to live and work in the UK.
Under the new rules, anyone starting a new job in the UK will be required to hold a digital ID.
As announced last month, digital ID cards, dubbed "Britcards", are expected to be introduced in the UK, subject to a full consultation.
The government's plan aims to digitalize almost every form of ID in the UK.
