Identity Cards: Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether Irish citizens in Northern Ireland will be required to have digital ID cards.
Answered by Josh Simons
There will be no requirements for Irish citizens, or UK citizens, to have a digital ID. We will design this system to ensure everyone who has a right to live and work in any part of the UK can do so more easily and securely, ensuring our commitments in the Good Friday Agreement and the Common Travel Area are respected.
