> Ministers are also looking at allowing “digital IDs”, using an app to prove a person’s age, rather than traditional proofs such as a driving licence or passport.

Is there a reason this should be digital? For in-person verification you could issue a physical card with photo and birthday (or maybe just birth year, for us older than the standard checks 18/21/25). A trusted vendor could create these using a gov-ID as the source.
