The UK government plans to introduce digital driving licences this year, allowing them to be stored in a government app. This initiative aims to enhance public services.
Technology now makes it possible for digital identities to be more secure than physical ones, but we remain clear that they will not be made mandatory.
The virtual wallet is expected to have security measures similar to banking apps, ensuring only licence owners can access it via biometrics and multi-factor authentication.
Potential features of the digital licence include hiding addresses in certain situations and using them for age verification at supermarket self-checkouts.
