How many people will have access to the data collected in relation to ID cards?
The Identity and Passport Service today has 3,800 employees, of whom just over 3,000 are involved in authorising passports. We don’t yet know the future size of the organisation but we do not expect it to be greatly larger than the current organisation. Other organisations will be able to verify their data against the National Identity Register, but they their employees will not have access to the register itself. You might be interested to know that this can already happen with passports presented as proof of identity when opening a bank account or taking out a loan. This is proving very effective in discouraging fraud.
