Government Launches First Digital ID
The UK government has introduced the first digital ID as part of plans 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. The proposal aims to tackle illegal immigration and will be part of each citizen's right to live and work in the UK.
Digital Veteran Cards
The first digital IDs, dubbed digital veteran cards, are available for ex-members of the armed services. These cards were presented at an event at the Tower of London, where Beefeaters showcased their new digital veteran ID cards.
The digital ID cards are part of a new plan to tackle illegal immigration.
The government announced the introduction of digital ID cards, or "Britcards," last month, subject to a full consultation.
