Its in - progress database was halted and then destroyed . Only workers in certain high - security professions, such as airport workers, were required to have an identity card in 2009, and this remains the case today . Therefore, driving licences, particularly the photocard driving licence introduced in 1998, along with passports, are the most widely used ID documents in the United Kingdom . Most people do not carry their passports with them; this leaves driving licences as the only valid form of ID to be presented . In day - to - day life, most authorities do not arbitrarily ask for identification from individuals, although this may become a concern in instances of stop and search . </P>
