UK To Get Digital Driving Licences In 2025

According to a recent report from The Times, the UK is set to roll out digital driving licences in 2025, as a voluntary initiative, accessible via a government smartphone app.

What Are Digital Driving Licences?

Digital driving licences are virtual versions of the traditional photocard driving licence. Stored on a secure government app, they will serve the same purpose as physical licences, i.e. proving the holder’s right to drive and acting as a form of identification. However, unlike physical licences, digital ones will only be accessible via a smartphone or other smart device, and will incorporate more advanced security features such as biometrics and two-factor authentication.
