Overview of Digital ID Systems
Digital ID systems are electronic forms of identification that allow individuals
to verify their identity online. These systems are being adopted in various >countries to streamline access to services and improve security.
Key Features
Storage: Digital IDs are typically stored on smartphones, similar to apps like
the NHS App or digital bank cards.

details are shared.
Optional vs. Mandatory: Some countries, like Switzerland, have introduced
voluntary digital IDs, while others, like the UK, are making them mandatory
for employment.
Digital ID in Switzerland

identity cards with a narrow margin of 50.4%.
Data Control: The system ensures that data is stored on individual
smartphones, not centrally, addressing privacy concerns.
Usage: Digital IDs will facilitate online transactions, such as proving age or
nationality, while allowing citizens to retain traditional identity cards if
preferred.
Digital ID in the UK
Mandatory for Work: The UK government plans to implement a digital ID system
that will be compulsory for anyone wanting to work, aiming to curb illegal
immigration.
Integration with Services: The digital ID will simplify access to various
government services, including driving licenses and welfare applications.
Inclusivity: The government is considering alternatives for those without
smartphones, ensuring the system is accessible to all citizens.
Global Context

systems, each with unique features. The UK aims to learn from these examples to
