GOV.UK One Login
GOV.UK One Login
GOV.UK One Login is the UK government's single sign-in and identity verification service, letting users access central government services with one account. It supports online identity checks, including document scanning and in-person checks, since the UK has no national ID card. It is gradually replacing legacy logins such as Government Gateway, and its app now carries the first GOV.UK Wallet credentials: the digital Veteran Card (since October 2025), with a digital driving licence in testing since December 2025.
