In future you'll be able to save other digital documents, such as your driving licence. This is not available yet.
Before you start
You need to get this app if you’re: • using a service on the GOV.UK website that asks you to prove your identity with GOV.UK One Login • saving your digital Veteran Card to your phone

How it works
You'll need to sign in to the app with your GOV.UK One Login details. This links the app to the GOV.UK website so you can continue proving your identity.

Scams took money out of my account, and it'd not who they say they are
★☆☆☆☆Abaddon Pike· Jun 16, 2026
I needed to renew my medical short term driving license. I was forced to install this app to upload my ID only to be informed that at present all you can actually upload is your military veterans' card, so you have to end up going to a post office to prove you are who you are all in all this app needs some serious work for a government app. If this is a pre coil to the new digital ID there isn't much hope

Cannot upload my passport and can't seem to find any information on how to get round this
