Comments on GOV.UK ID Check for Android

★★★★☆ John Kaye · Jul 7, 2026
Not sure the flashing lights are necessary but otherwise seems to work fine.
★★★★★ Kirsty O'Brien · Aug 6, 2026
Allowed me to do an ID check by using NFC to scan the biometric chip in my passport. Very cool tech
★★★★★ Richard Dawkins · Jul 5, 2026
Easy to use, provided you follow the instructions provided.
★★★★★ Max Bruges · Jul 21, 2026
If only all digital bureaucratic processes could be this good.
★☆☆☆☆ Tony · Aug 7, 2026
So confused using this app. Why do I need a separate Gov ID for each Gov site? Also, no chat or phone number for help. Refused to allow access even after providing passport and drive license info.
★☆☆☆☆ Mark Norrie · Jul 30, 2026
Way too complicated. You should be able to confirm identity by NI number and passport or driving license number as the government has images of all documents. Those with mental health issues or the elderly may be overwhelmed by the amount of information required and the need to be using two devices simultaneously.
★☆☆☆☆ Daniel Akaforonye · Aug 1, 2026
The app is not user-friendly, I have been going round and round in circles and always end stock at the same place (gov.ukid check). Each time I open the page it takes me back to "link gov.ukid check button. There are no links where I can scan my I'd or photograph my ID and send it to them. As a result I cannot reclaim my tax refund from my self assessment. Before it used to be easy to reclaim my tax refund simply by entering my account details and the payment arrives within one week.
★☆☆☆☆ Gary Hughes · Aug 16, 2026
Total nightmare! I must have tried about 5 times before it got it to work. Scanned everything; done everything correct. But no joy whatsoever, with the same old message continually recurring: “We need to prove ur ID”. After so many attempts, I uninstalled both apps (HMRC was the other), cleaned the cookies, reinstalled them both and presto! It was suddenly working. I don’t know how or why, but it was certainly a lot of hassle. 1 star.
