LCCC-ESC Consultation response on digital identity call for evidence
Posted 06.03.2019
LCCC and ESC have welcomed the opportunity to respond to the Call for Evidence on Digital Identity issued by DCMS and the Cabinet Office. These are some of our recommendations:
- Trust in digital identity would be enabled if stakeholders are subject to robust consequences for inaction, for knowingly providing false information or for interfering with others’ information;
- It would be sensible to replicate elements of other government organisations’ digital identification systems, such as the Passport Office, HMRC and DWP;
- The Passport Office has introduced a digital access portal, which could be used as an exemplar for a future digital identity portal.
