flag UK to lower digital ID age to 13, citing efficiency and teen usage, despite opposition.

flag The UK government, led by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, is considering lowering the age for its digital ID system to 13, following public consultation. flag Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper defended the move, noting many teens already use digital IDs and emphasizing consistency and efficiency. flag The system, initially focused on tackling illegal migration, would expand to public services like benefits and bill payments. flag While Starmer praised India’s Aadhaar system as a model, the UK version would be publicly run and likely differ, with no confirmation on biometric use. flag Over 2.8 million people have signed a petition opposing the plan, but officials say the benefits must be clearly communicated.
