Background
We believe that digital ID cards would strengthen privacy protections and improve public services by providing every citizen with a safe and convenient way to verify their identity. A well-designed, state-backed system can reduce fraud, simplify access to healthcare and benefits, and enhance national security while maintaining strict safeguards.
