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.

Easy to use app

Extremely good guidance through a potential technical nightmare for me.

Great App

Instructions were simple to follow.

Excellent app

This has to be one of the best apps I have ever used. The instructions are clear, the software works as it should and the feedback is excellent. 10/10 for this app.

Biometric scan on a phone doesnt work

Why the biometric scan on a bloody phone!? Doesnt work! A photo of the passport and a selfie surely enough? More nonsense from the UK Government

Great app

Very easy to use, instructions easy to follow, fast, clear and functional process.

Great experience

Great experience and smooth technology

Brilliant App

Really easy to use and a great way to get your identity verified.
