I don't see why the government feel the need to over complicate things. Why not just add a barcode to the driving licence & use that without taking extra data?
My system allows for trivial check without the use of electronics - so places that would accept a Driving Licence would not need the cross-check - again keeping
it simple.

Speaking of Driving Licenses, this card would also work as such, with people who need to know about entitlement etc, being able to look your record up online using the UID
