Government Launches First Digital ID

The UK government has introduced the first digital ID as part of its plan to digitalize almost every form of ID in the country.

The digital ID, announced on September 26, is dubbed "Britcards" and aims to tackle illegal immigration by making it a requirement for citizens' right to live and work in the UK.

The digital veteran ID cards were presented at an event at the Tower of London, where Beefeaters showcased their new IDs, as reported by Sky News.
