  • Security fears have been triggered by news that the government wants drivers and other UK citizens to trust their personal data to a new centralised GOV.UK Wallet and GOV.UK App, which they say will simplify access to legal documents such as new digital driving licences.

The proposal aims to modernize the current system by allowing drivers to access their licences via smartphones, potentially reducing the need for physical cards.
