Fortunately, you can regulate your access to your ID by using one of these:
Oh that's a sexy form factor! It does fold and hold the card in place right?
I do have a card reader already but its cable isn't in top shape. Any reference?
That's what we use in Estonia. Google "e-residency Estonia"
Thanks, I already have been using a card reader for years now and mine words well. I meant specifically this form factor that can fold. I did find an alternative since then though (cf link just below).
Yeah, the one issued by the Estonian government folds. Never had to buy one, but I hear every gas station in Estonia sells them too.
I just threw "id card reader" into Brave Search. But I think the image is from Amazon.
No worries, found a slightly different design but same principle and also in USB-C.
Yes, if the government was sane and allowed a physical card as an alternative/backup, but the UK gov wants to make it digital only.
