The UK is set to launch a digital driver's license and a government-issued digital wallet later this year, streamlining age verification for purchasing age-restricted items. This digital wallet will also hold various documents issued by the government, although full functionality will continue to evolve until 2027. The digital documents will leverage smartphone security features, including facial recognition to prevent unauthorized access. Users can opt to hide sensitive information like home addresses when using their digital licenses. While this innovation is new to the UK, other countries have successfully implemented similar systems.
Digital driver's licenses will enable UK citizens to easily prove their age and driving rights, utilizing facial recognition for security in the GOV.UK digital wallet.
The UK government's digital wallet will host various credentials, including driver's licenses, aimed at enhancing security and privacy for users in everyday transactions.
