GOV.UK Verify is a new way of proving who you are in order to access certain GOV.UK services online, such as HMRC tax services, DVLA to check your driving licence information and Universal Credit to verify for your claim for benefits.
During the process of verifying your identity, you will be asked to create a set of login details ( username & password ), provide personal details ( create a profile ) and verify certain evidence, such as passport, driving licence and financial details ( debit/credit card ). This is to reach the level of assurance required, so that we can be sure that you are who you say you are.
Once you have successfully completed the verification process, you will be able to use your Digidentity account to access any government service available online with GOV.UK Verify.
