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.
A digital ID, known as a "Britcard," was proposed last month to tackle illegal immigration and verify citizens' right to live and work in the UK.
- Digital IDs will be mandatory for starting a new job in the UK.
- The first digital IDs, called digital veteran cards, are available for ex-members of the armed services.
The digital veteran ID cards were presented at an event at the Tower of London, where Beefeaters showcased their new cards.
