Five out of the eight Identity Providers on the cross-government identity assurance framework have been selected to deliver identity verification services as part of the transformation of government digital services. Digidentity, Experian, Mydex, The Post Office, and Verizon have all been chosen to work with the government on The Cabinet Office's Identity Assurance (IDA) service.

The scheme's first live services will "enable people to assert their identity online safely and securely, and allow government to be confident that users of online services are who they say they are" according to the Government Digital Service (GDS) website.
