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.

You need a PhD in computing to use this unintuitive unfriendly app.

To complicated

This is well over the top I’m computer savvy and I find it hard to use. Worst thing was that after all the checks the website refused to except my home address so 1 hr of wasted time

Unable to link app

Really poor user experiences which basically stopping me from setting anything up! Can’t even get the qr code after creating a gov one login. Followed instructions and repeated many times but still won’t work. Asked someone else to try set it up and they got the same issue.

Great process.
