UK Launches Digital Driving Licence and GOV.UK Wallet App

The UK government is launching a GOV.UK Wallet and App to simplify access to government services and documents. A digital driver's licence will be among the first features, allowing users to show their licence on their phone for age verification or driving proof online and offline. The wallet will also include other government-issued documents like Veteran Cards. Alongside this, the government plans to save £45 billion through public sector technology improvements and leverage technology to boost economic growth. The GOV.UK App, launching this summer, will offer personalized services and features like an AI-powered chatbot.
