The UK government says people will need a digital ID to work in the country. The Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, says this will help stop people from working in the UK if they are not allowed. He also says the digital ID will help people do things like get a driver’s license or use other services more easily.

Some people do not agree with this plan. Some other political parties say the digital ID will not stop people from coming to the UK in small boats. They also say it will make life harder for people who follow the rules and for employers.

The digital ID will be on a person’s phone. It will show their name, birthday, and photo. The government says people do not have to carry the ID all the time, but they must use it to show they can work in the UK. The government will ask people what they think about this plan before making it a law.
