The UK government plans to introduce a digital wallet app that allows users to store virtual versions of their official documents, starting with a veteran's card and driving licenses. This initiative aims to enhance convenience, security, and user control over personal data, progressively incorporating more documents like DBS checks by 2027. Physical documents will still be available, ensuring access for those preferring traditional methods. The transition seeks to streamline public services and reduce wasted time on documentation processes.
'Gov.UK Wallet will mean that every letter or identity document you receive from the government could be issued to you virtually.'
'Crucially, it also opens huge opportunities to make interacting with public services much easier by putting people in control of their own data.'
