Published by:
Government Digital Service
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:
• 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 can use an expired BRP, BRC or FWP up to 18 months after its expiry date.
You will also need:
• a well-lit area where you can take a good quality photograph
• an iPhone 8 or newer
• iOS 16.7 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.

GOV.UK ID Check Reviews
Awkward but it worked eventually
Millions of pages and clicks to get through .. no fun
Great system
So clever!
Fails to read biometric chip
I can’t verify my identity because it fails to scan the biometric chip on my passport. When I click “start reading”, the app freezes.
At first nothing and then all fine
The app did not work as expected so I complained via the GOV.UK website. A few hours later, I tried again and all worked perfectly.
Pathetic
As other reviewer said, app doesn’t work so impossible to get what I need. When using app second QR code rejected and refers back to site which needs 2 of 3 items, but one is UK driving license and one is UK credit card. What if you live outside UK? Using phone number for ‘those resident outside UK’ uses voice recognition but does not recognise non-UK postcode and just keeps repeating same question. Utterly useless service! What do we do now?
What a joke
App doesn’t work. It fails at the point where it try’s to connect with the website. This is the only way to register it you are not based in the UK. HMRC digital is a bad joke.
ID check
Very efficient.
Mr
Easy to use and intuitive
A bloody nightmare
Spent ages completing the online report for Parkinson’s. Then towards the completion was asked do you have any other problems that we need to know about. Yes thanks for the reminder I had completely forgotten that I have glaucoma. Which you already are aware because I notified you when I first got it, a few years back, and I did a driving/ eye exam which you must have on record. But the on line form for the Parkinson’s has now stopped me from going any further and instructed me to down load both forms to complete. I am not a happy bunny. Merry Christmas and a happy new year
