A digital ID is a safe way to prove your age using your phone - online and in person. It takes just minutes to create with just an ID document and photo, and then you're set up for life. Your details are encrypted in your app and only you can see them.

Digital ID is now accepted at cinemas, Post Office branches and 12,000 convenience stores across the UK.
