Driving Instructor Issues Verdict on New Digital Licence Coming to UK

Later this year, the UK will introduce an optional digital version of driving licences accessible via the GOV.UK Wallet and App, which will complement the existing physical cards.
This launch occurs amid a wider public service modernization effort, but concerns arise over increased smartphone reliance that could especially affect older drivers and rural residents.
Supporters state the digital licences will speed up identity checks, reduce paperwork, and improve security with biometric authentication, while critics worry about privacy risks and exclusion of less tech-savvy users.
Alastair Grier, CEO of CarMoney, described this development as a significant advancement for UK drivers, while stressing the importance of a carefully managed introduction to ensure public confidence and prevent some motorists from being disadvantaged.
CarMoney published a free guide urging drivers to consider how digital licences might affect access to services and advising them to stay informed about these changes.
