Free digital ID cards are intended to make black market work more difficult and counteract illegal immigration in the United Kingdom. This is announced by Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The digital ID documents will be available to both citizens and migrants.
”The program will contribute to combating illegal work and at the same time make it easier for the vast majority to use important government services,” it says in a statement. ”Digital ID will be mandatory in checks of the right to work,” it also says.
