Comments on GOV.UK ID Check for Android

★★★★★ Richard Dawkins · Jul 5, 2026
Easy to use, provided you follow the instructions provided.
★★★★☆ David Rigby · Jun 7, 2026
Step-by-step instructions are clear. Scan of passport photo page and biometric chip work smoothly, but the selfie face scan took multiple attempts with the scan starting and stopping before eventually capturing. Unclear if you need to retain app in your phone after successfully proving identity first time.
★☆☆☆☆ Danny Poole · Jun 29, 2026
Why do I have to scan my face to confirm my identity now - this is ridiculous and intrusive. There are two options on the government website but conveniently when I choose the other one it glitches, leaving me with no choice but to download this vulturous app
★★☆☆☆ Phillips Steven · Jun 24, 2026
Needed to identify myself on the hmrc government gateway for a tax refund. The use of the qr code to link the app to the gateway was simple, but all the challenges came after that. The scan of the passport photo page was very sensitive and It's challenging to get it just right, so it scans, the read of the passport chip is easy once you remember to move the phone up and down to read chip, the selfie again a little sensitive before it scans. The app does work but it takes time.
