Rejected petition Introduce Digital ID Cards

We urge the UK Government to proceed with the introduction of secure digital ID cards. We encourage a firm commitment to implement it.

More details

We believe that digital ID cards would strengthen privacy protections and improve public services by providing every citizen with a safe and convenient way to verify their identity. A well-designed, state-backed system can reduce fraud, simplify access to healthcare and benefits, and enhance national security while maintaining strict safeguards.

Why was this petition rejected?

We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.

We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.

The Prime Minister has already announced plans for free digital ID for those living in the UK.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
