UK set to introduce digital driving licences
Digital driving licences are to be introduced in the UK as the government looks to use technology to "transform public services".
They will be accessed on a new government smartphone app and could be accepted as a form of ID when buying alcohol, voting, or boarding domestic flights.
Physical licences will still be issued, but ministers believe the voluntary digital option will "drag government into the 2020s,"
