Digital ID: Public Consultation

Contribution

Today we are launching this national conversation to discuss how we will build and use a digital ID. We want to know where frustrations exist with the current legacy system and which services could be made easier via the GOV.UK app. Later today, I will share a prototype of how a digital ID could work that shows how “government by app” could become a reality, joining up different departments and services so that the public do not have to do the work themselves.
