If you have a UK driving licence, get ready for a big change this summer with the introduction of digital licences stored on your phone
London: Exciting news for UK driving licence holders! A big change is on the way, and it’s set to roll out by summer. You’ll soon be able to store your driving licence digitally on your phone, making life a bit easier.
This new digital driving licence will be part of a GOV.UK Wallet app. It’s the first of its kind, and you can access it on both iOS and Android. Plus, it’ll use some cool security features, like facial recognition, to keep your info safe.
Even though you’ll still get physical licences, the app aims to make your interactions with government services smoother. It’ll remember what you do, making everything more personalized. There’s even talk of adding an AI chatbot to help you out!
Science secretary Peter Kyle mentioned that this move is about leaving behind old ways of doing things. No more piles of letters or long waits on the phone. With the GOV.UK Wallet, you can easily prove your identity or check your age when needed.
It’s all about giving you more control over your data and making public services easier to navigate. So, if you’re tired of the usual hassle, this new tech could be a game changer!
