Fuck its driving license isnt it?

Side note, driving license is an ID that carries a £10k fine if you don't update your address in time.

Thats the frustrating thing, GDS could have done "digital ID", and were kind of doing that already. When I came to renew my passport, I could use the photo I had on file from my driver license(or it was the other way around). Absolutely wild.
