Description

GOV.UK ID Check is a secure way to confirm your identity when you sign in to a government service with GOV.UK One Login. It works by matching your face to your photo ID.
Before you start

You can use any of the following types of photo ID if it has not expired:
• UK photocard driving licence
• UK passport
• non-UK passport with a biometric chip
• UK biometric residence permit (BRP)
• UK biometric residence card (BRC)
• UK Frontier Worker permit (FWP)
You will also need:
• a well-lit area where you can take a good quality photograph
• an iPhone 7 or newer - or an iPhone 6s or newer if your photo ID is a driving licence
• iOS 14 or higher
How it works

If your photo ID is a driving licence you will:
• take a photo of your driving licence
• scan your face using your phone
If your photo ID is a passport, BRP, BRC or FWP you will:
• take a photo of your photo ID
• scan the biometric chip in your photo ID using your phone
• scan your face using your phone
What happens next

The app only helps confirm your identity. You will return to the website of the government service you were accessing to view the results of your identity check.
Privacy and security
Your personal information will not be stored in the app, or on the phone when you finish using it. We collect your data securely and delete it when it is no longer needed.

Wild goose chase

Downloading the app outside UK, there are no QR codes to scan to enable use of the app. I’m stuck in a Kafkaesque limbo, with no redress.

Very Easy Instructions to Follow

I was sceptical- very easy to complete!!

Face match app

The steps were easy to follow EXCEPT when face match app is mentioned, directions need to state press ‘continue’ to start the process or start the app. I spent ages trying to find an app on my phone until I decided to press ‘continue’ and see what was next!
