As has been said many times in this thread, you don't need to carry your driving licence in the UK, it's not a requirement.Personally, this has made my day! I've been wallet less for a couple of years now but the one thing I've still had to carry loose in my pocket is my license and I've always been jealous of the US states that can have them in their Apple wallets. To finally ditch my physical license being on my person at all times will be great!
Why use the simple built in functionality when you can instead have a hackneyed useless piece of unnecessary bloatware?
Along with driver's licenses, the UK digital wallet will eventually include veteran cards, DBS checks, and other documents issued by the government, but traditional physical documents will also remain available.
To be fair bobbies is just so much easier than repeating Sting, Andy and Stewart in conversation, who, yeah, are getting up there in age.We don’t, it’s an and old word for the Police used by even older people.
It isn't yet? Here in Germany everyone needs to have an ID or passport
To be fair to the German people any card transaction is tracked and can be frozen rendering it unusable. Not the same for cash. UK has been slipping into some authoritarian society for some time now, another nail in the coffin.British people are very against mandatory government ID because it feels very authoritarian, it’s our quirk, like how Germans still cling to cash payments because they think they will be tracked if they use card payments.
UK has the most CCTV cameras anywhere in the west, no legal certainty and protection from prosecution for its citizens, rampant face recognition, automatic registration plate recognition. I doubt that ID cards would be a problem.Backdoor way to introduce a mandatory ID card.
CBDC requires a Digital ID to be associated with, it’s another nail in the coffin for freedom.UK has the most CCTV cameras anywhere in the west, no legal certainty and protection from prosecution for its citizens, rampant face recognition, automatic registration plate recognition.

Per capita obviously. And public CCTV, not the ones inside banks or private offices. I thought that some things did not require spelling out. My bad for having posted something at all.
Only around 1.8% of the cameras in the UKs figure are government owned, the rest are owned by businesses and private individuals.Per capita obviously.

The fuzzies, Rozzers, Filth, Bizzies (more of a Scouser saying I think), coppers, fuzz, old bill + many more that might lead to a ban!!I believe they call them bobbies.

I’m going to edit my post as your the hundredth person to point that outYou don’t need to carry insurance docs
Easy to forget pigs/bacon when you've turned vegan!You missed the bacon, that’s a firm favourite!
You can get a citizens ID or PASS card if you need it and don’t have either a passport or driver’s license.The interesting thing here is that we don't have IDs in the UK. If you don't have a passport, the only other form of photographic ID is a driving licence which is small and easy to carry, you already have in your wallet anyway. Not sure what the value of this implementation is.
There's a chance it will be added to Wallet - the DVLA (roughly equivalent to DMV in USA) were already looking into doing this a couple years ago. Perhaps the stars will align?Not optimistic this will be done well. If it’s an app, and if you can’t add the driving license etc to Apple Wallet, then no doubt they’ll require you to hand over your unlocked phone - unlike if they utilised Apple Wallet.
I don’t carry a wallet as I don’t feel the need, I suppose on the very slim chance I’m pulled over I’ll be spared the minor inconvenience of having to dig my license out of the drawer and show it at my local police station. 🤷♂️The interesting thing here is that we don't have IDs in the UK.
