Digital ID will not be compulsory for workers to prove the right to work, although digital checks on right-to-work status will be mandatory. Workers will be allowed to use passports or other documents instead of a digital ID. The policy shift reverses an earlier pledge that digital ID would be required to work in the United Kingdom. The scheme will refocus from tightly targeting illegal immigration toward improving access to customer-facing public services. A consultation on implementation will be launched soon, and ministers expect public polling on digital ID to improve within a year. Political opponents criticized the reversal and urged redirecting funds to public services like the NHS and policing.
