Welcome to the Government Digital Wallet

We understand that big life events such as having a baby or the death of a loved one can be very busy and emotionally demanding. Navigating administrative procedures should be as easy as possible so that people can concentrate on what matters most to them.

The Government Digital Wallet provides a safe, reliable and private means of storing and sharing important digital documents when accessing supports and services.

We want to build a Government Digital Wallet that people trust and value. To support the development of the Government Digital Wallet programme, including drafting legislation and its rollout, we want to hear from you. To do that, we need to understand what you expect, what worries you may have, and how we can communicate about it in a way that is easy to understand.

This is about better public services

The Government Digital Wallet is based on an EU-wide initiative designed to improve how people interact with and use services in a way that is accessible.

This is about user control

The Government Digital Wallet will let you request, store and share important information about you in a safe way that is fully under your control.

This is about making life simpler

The Government Digital Wallet is a service that provides you with a way to store your official documents digitally and submit them easily when accessing supports and services.

We want to build a digital wallet that people trust. To do that, we need to understand what people expect, what worries they may have and how we can explain the wallet clearly, especially since using it will be voluntary.

We asked members of the public what they thought about the new Government Digital Wallet:
