英国放弃工作检查的强制性数字身份证,选择公开协商和今后可能的选择性使用。 UK drops mandatory digital ID for work checks, opting for public consultation and possible future optional use.

尽管凯尔·斯塔默总理先前承诺,但联合王国政府已经推翻了规定数字身份证明必须证明工作资格的计划。 The UK government has reversed its plan to make digital ID mandatory for proving work eligibility, despite Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s earlier pledge. 虽然强制性的工作权检查仍然存在,但数字身份识别系统的细节将在征求公众意见后确定,数字身份识别可能在2029年成为可选的。 While mandatory right-to-work checks remain in place, details of the digital ID system will be determined after a public consultation, with digital ID potentially becoming optional by 2029. 这一转变之后,公共支助从53%急剧下降至31%,并对可行性、成本和连贯性提出了批评。 The shift follows a sharp drop in public support from 53% to 31% and criticism over feasibility, cost, and consistency. 官员说,数字检查的目的是减少欺诈,使过时的纸质系统现代化,但是在等待公众投入之前,该政策的未来仍不确定。 Officials say digital checks aim to reduce fraud and modernize outdated paper-based systems, but the policy’s future remains uncertain pending public input.
