Proof of Identity: Digital Technology
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether the Digital ID scheme will use NHS data.
Answered by Ian Murray
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.
