About digital ID
Leave your passport at home
A digital ID is a safe way to prove your age and identity using your phone. It takes just minutes to set up with an ID document and a photo – then you’re verified for life.
So no more worrying about where your passport is to get into the latest movie – the only thing you’ll be leaving behind is that last-minute panic.
Digital ID is now accepted at cinemas, Post Office branches and 12,000 convenience stores across the UK.
