Top Recommended Alternative

Users can use their valid UK photocard driving license or valid passport with a biometric chip to confirm their identities. 

How does it work?

Simply take a photo of your valid driving license or passport, then scan your face using your phone's camera. Just make sure that the photo is of good quality, otherwise, you will need to retake it. 

If you're using a passport, you will also need to scan the biometric chip using your smartphone.
