The UK plans to roll out a mandatory digital identity cards

​The UK plans to roll out a mandatory digital identity card for all workers by the end of 2029. The aim is to verify the right to work, tackle illegal immigration, and make access to public services quicker and more secure through a biometric-enabled mobile app.

The ID will include personal details like name, date of birth, nationality or residency status, and a photo.

Public support is dropping, and millions have signed petitions opposing the scheme.

It will be interesting to see how the government balances immigration control with protecting individual rights.
