Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they will take to consult with private sector digital identification providers about the future development of the UK digital identification ecosystem, including the Gov.uk digital wallet and the mobile driving licence.

The Office for Digital Identities and Attributes (OfDIA) regularly engages with a wide range of stakeholders including digital verification service providers, civil society, regulators, and other experts from academia and think tanks.

With regard to the GOV.UK Wallet and the mobile driving licence, OfDIA and the Government Digital Service have an event on 14 May 2025 to engage with digital verification providers on how the GOV.UK Wallet can work with and alongside private sector solutions to offer users the best experience and appropriate choice. This will be followed by technical engagement with providers in the coming months.
