Description

Identity verification is fragmented, with diverse practices across the Scottish public sector. ScotAccount aims to standardise this, combining biometric checks and knowledge-based verification to establish identities in line with GPG 45. We know that people without recognised ID documents and limited interactions with public and private services face difficulties in verifying their identity, which means they can encounter issues around accessing online services. We wish to develop identity verification that uses vouching, so that trusted relationships can help confirm someone's identity. While not fully developed digitally, vouching leverages existing relationships and has the potential to improve access to government services. A solution will need to respect dignity and human rights, information rights, using cultural, community and place-based relationships.
