New app will allow carrying of digital passports, minister says
January 22, 2025
|The Guardian
UK citizens could soon be able to carry their passports in a digital wallet on their phones along with their driving licence, universal credit account, and marriage and birth certificates.
The plan was announced by Peter Kyle, the secretary of state for science, innovation and technology, as part of a new smartphone app to simplify interactions with government services.
He claimed it meant "the overflowing drawer rammed with letters from the government and hours spent on hold to get a basic appointment will soon be consigned to history".
The first government-issued credentials that people will be able to carry in the new digital wallet, due to launch in June, will be a driving licence and an armed forces veteran's card. The government plans to then introduce access to accounts relating to student loans, vehicle tax, benefits, childcare and local councils.
