The UK government has introduced the first digital ID as part of plans to digitalize various forms of identification.
A new digital veteran card is available for ex-members of the armed services, and was showcased at an event at the Tower of London.
The introduction of digital IDs is part of a plan to tackle illegal immigration, with the new ID set to be required for citizens to live and work in the UK.
Under the new rules, anyone starting a new job in the UK will be required to hold a digital ID.
The proposal is subject to a full consultation, as announced by the government last month.
