GOV.UK Wallet

How GOV.UK Wallet will work 

GOV.UK Wallet will let you save government documents to your phone using an app. It is not ready to use yet, but some people will be able to start using it soon. 

You will be able to use GOV.UK Wallet to:

  • securely save government issued digital documents 
  • show these documents to organisations, businesses and other parts of government to prove things such as your age, identity, or eligibility for services

You will be able to use the digital versions of documents in the same way as paper or card versions.

It will not be possible to add non-government documents, like train or concert tickets, to GOV.UK Wallet. 

Use of GOV.UK Wallet will be entirely optional. 

When GOV.UK Wallet will be available 

You cannot download or use GOV.UK Wallet yet.

If you have an HM Armed Forces Veteran Card, you will be able to save this to GOV.UK Wallet first. You’ll be able to save more government documents, including your driving licence, to GOV.UK Wallet in the future. 

You will need to have a GOV.UK One Login to access and use GOV.UK Wallet. This means that nobody else can use your documents, or access them without your permission.
