Employers will be required to conduct digital right to work checks using the new digital credential by the end of this parliament.

These could include things like getting support into work, accessing free childcare hours, checking free school meals, using financial services, buying a house, or buying alcohol. |

Proof of Identity: Digital Technology
Asked by: Graham Leadbitter (Scottish National Party - Moray West, Nairn and Strathspey) Wednesday 22nd October 2025 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether the Digital ID scheme will use NHS data. Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) The credential will be able to display and/or share name, date of birth, information on nationality or residency status, and a photo (as the basis for biometric security). This is similar to documents like passports and eVisas. The consultation will explore whether it would be helpful for users if additional information, like address, should be captured. We have no plans to include NHS data in the credential. |
