What is a digital ID? My name is Darren
0:04
Jones. I'm the chief secretary to the
0:06
prime minister. Let me explain.
0:10
A digital ID is an ID on your phone that
0:12
just proves you are who you are. And
0:15
when you apply for any new job in the UK
0:17
already, you have to prove that you have
0:19
the right to work here. With a digital
0:20
right to work check, you can do it with
0:22
your phone as opposed to having to
0:23
rumage around for a passport or a
0:25
utility bill which your employer has to
0:27
photocopy. It's free. It's not going to
0:28
cost you anything. It makes life easier
0:30
for you. Lots of other countries use
0:33
government digital ID. Australia or
0:35
Denmark or Estonia, other places in
0:37
Europe, is it means that we can hone in
0:39
on those dodgy employers employing
0:42
people illegally much more effectively.
0:45
So that for the rest of us that get up
0:46
every morning and go to work legally, uh
0:49
we know that we're all doing the right
0:50
thing and the system works
