Proof of Identity: Digital Technology
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what consideration has been made of allocating a Digital Identity Number to children at birth.
Answered by Josh Simons
All UK citizens and legal residents aged 16 and over will be able to get the national digital identity credential, and we will be consulting the public on the minimum age.
We want people to have the option to use the national digital ID to make their lives easier - like smoother access to public services and safer proof of who you are across the economy.
