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.

Can’t link the GOV.UK ID Check app to GOV.UK

Pomandaussie on

Unable to link the ID check app to GOV.UK. Tried for around an hour using both iPhone and IPad, no joy. Frustrating and time wasting. Guidance not helpful. Sort it out please.

Don’t know what everyone’s complaining about. This was really easy. Took my photo even at night under a normal house light. The biometric passport connected, all done.

choice of facial recognition software is poor

There are so many better biometric id software solutions available. the one selected by this app is an older legacy tech which have been superseded by far better solutions that would make this app so much more user friendly.
