Map shows which countries already use digital ID cards with UK 

Sir Keir Starmer has unveiled plans to roll out digital ID cards as a mandatory requirement to work in the UK.

The Prime Minister hailed it as a tool that would help curb illegal migration, but the proposal has faced intense backlash.

Concerns have been raised over privacy, and that digital IDs could pose a cybersecurity risk.

More than 1.5 million people and counting have signed a petition calling for the digital ID to be scrapped.

Which countries already have digital ID?

Estonia

Estonia’s cutting-edge digital ID scheme has been cited as a model case for how a UK system would work.

As well as allowing citizens to access government services, from tax to applying for nursery places, it is also used for electronic voting in elections.

The ‘smart card’ also helps verify identity for age-restricted websites and online content and even supports digital signatures.

China

The world’s most populous country enforces a compulsory ID scheme for all citizens.

From 2022, the Chinese government announced that a digital version would be introduced.

In July this year, a new system was launched, allowing further surveillance of citizens’ activities.

The new online pass will also be used to verify age on the internet.

India

The world’s largest biometric ID system, Aadhaar, was first launched in India in 2016.

It comprises of a 12-digit identity number which can be voluntarily obtained by all Indian residents.

The scheme has been the subject of several court rulings over privacy.

While the scheme is officially voluntary, but has expanded rapidly as it has become increasingly necessary for certain activities, including receiving benefits.

United States

The US made steps towards introducing a national digital ID with the Digital Identity Act of 2021.

However, several states have already introduced electronic ID schemes, the first being Colorado in 2019.

In 2022, California started piloting a scheme to allow citizens to use digital ID to access certain government services.

Since returning to power, Donald Trump has rolled back several of the Biden era cybersecurity measures, including digital ID provisions.

Singapore

The SingPass service streamlines access to government services through a unique digital ID.

It allows citizens and residents to carry out a range of activities with a single login, such as booking healthcare appointments and banking.

The digital card also serves as a proof of identity within the city state.

Known as UAE Pass, the new electronic ID is accessed via a dedicated smartphone application and will allow residents to authenticate themselves for a range of transactions and both public and private services.

The EU

From 2026, citizens, residents and businesses in all EU member states will be able to apply for a European Digital Identity Wallet.

According to the European Commission, the scheme will allow for better access to public services, with improved cybersecurity and fraud prevention.

It will also cut costs for businesses by making it easier for them to identify and authenticate their customers.
