The proposed format cuts out government, except as a dumb reference. The verification services are private companies, whose responsibilities are tightly defined under law in the recent Data (Use and Access) Act 2025. These services poll government departments during onboarding, or when data changes or is added. The ID itself isn't a single ID, rather a wallet organizing bundles of data attributes into any number of IDs. I was skeptical at first, but looking at it, I'm convinced it strengthens citizens, by giving them some control over their data.
