Use GOV.UK ID Check to prove your identity when you:

• UK photocard driving licence
• UK passport
• non-UK passport with a biometric chip
• UK biometric residence permit (BRP)
• UK biometric residence card (BRC)
• UK Frontier Worker permit (FWP)
You can use an expired driving licence if it expired in the last 90 days and it was issued by DVLA.
You can use an expired BRP, BRC or FWP up to 24 months after its expiry date.
You will also need:
• a well-lit area where you can take a good quality photograph
• an Android phone running Android version 10 or higher
How it works
If your photo ID is a driving licence you will:
• take a photo of your driving licence
• scan your face using your phone
If your photo ID is a passport, BRP, BRC or FWP you will:
• take a photo of your photo ID
• scan the biometric chip in your photo ID using your phone
• scan your face using your phone
What happens next
The app only helps confirm your identity. You will return to the website of the government service you were accessing to view the results of your identity check.
