Consultation Questions, Companies House Incident Highlight UK IDV Industry’s Fears
The UK government’s consultation on a national digital identity system omits private Digital Verification Service (DVS) providers, prompting the Association of Digital Verification Professionals (ADVP) to warn of data‑ownership and market‑distortion concerns.

ADVP urges the consultation to treat identity as personal property and to recognize existing DVS solutions. The incident underscores urgency for transparent governance and robust digital‑ID architecture.
