A UK digital ID scheme will be introduced and made mandatory as a means of proving the right to work. Individuals will not be required to carry or asked to produce the digital ID. The digital ID will be available to UK citizens and legal residents by the end of this parliament. The scheme aims to make it harder to work illegally and strengthen border security while offering faster identity verification for accessing services instead of relying on documents like old utility bills.
