Proof of Identity: Digital Technology
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, which elements of the digital ID system will use One Login infrastructure; and whether he expects to undertake additional procurement for this purpose.
Answered by Josh Simons
The new digital ID scheme will build on existing infrastructure, including GOV.UK One Login which has already been used to verify the identities of over 13 million people.
Users will store the digital ID credential in the GOV.UK Wallet, as they will with digital other versions of other government documents like the veterans card and the digital driving licence.
In the event any specialist external services or expertise are procured to support the delivery of the new digital ID system, this will be subject to all the usual competitive processes to ensure transparency, and value for the taxpayer.
