A major digital overhaul of UK driving licences is expected this year, bringing licences to a mobile app. The look of your driving licence could soon be very different after government plans to put them on smartphones were revealed.

The article from MSN discusses a significant change to the UK driving licence system that could affect approximately 50 million Britons. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) is set to introduce a new digital driving licence, aiming to modernize the current paper-based system. This digital licence will be accessible via a smartphone app, allowing drivers to carry their licence electronically. The initiative is part of a broader push towards digitalization, aiming to reduce administrative burdens, enhance security, and facilitate easier verification of driving credentials. The change is expected to streamline processes like licence renewals, vehicle tax, and insurance, making them more convenient for users. However, the transition to digital licences also raises concerns about digital access, privacy, and the potential for technological glitches.
