Thats because they are without fail massive grifts ran by the IT firms.
UK already has an ID system that about half of all adults already own that is fully integrated and trusted by the police and other services, the driving license. It even operates at a profit.
It would be pretty damn cheap in comparison to implementing a new system to just require everybody who doesn’t have the driving license to get a special one thats a different colour and confers no driving privileges.
Of course that would be too simple and wouldn’t allow scum to skim huge sums of money so here we are…
Obviously I don’t actually want a mandatory ID but if we getting one then might as well make it cheap and already mostly implemented.
Is there an option for non drivers? In Canada you can get a photo ID card which is just basically a license but a different colour. Idk why the UK couldn’t just have that
You could get a provisional (learner) license and not bother learning to drive, doesn’t seem to be a popular choice despite I te it being £14 for ten years
Yeah kind of - the provisional license is what you get so you can learn. It’s a different colour
It’s not technically for non-drivers, but a lot of non-drivers have one and use it for their ID. It’s a convenient size, known format etc
