Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, on what date HM Revenue and Customs stopped using the GOV.UK Verify service; and for what reasons that decision was taken.

HMRC has not taken a decision to stop using the GOV.UK Verify service.

HMRC is committed to GOV.UK Verify as the single identification service for individuals and believes that HMRC are currently the largest consumer in terms of the number of services connected to GOV.UK Verify.

GOV.UK Verify doesn’t currently work for all HMRC customers. HMRC are working closely with Government Digital Service on how to address this so that they can increase adoption.

HMRC services that are currently available through GOV.UK Verify include the Personal Tax Account, Self Assessment Tax Return service, and Check your Income Tax.
