UK civil society denounce risks of exclusion linked to digital residence checks
UK migrants’ rights organisations have denounced risks of exclusion linked to a new system of digital verification to confirm migrants’ rights to rent and work. This system, rolled out in April by the Home Office, aims at fully replacing physical residency cards by 2024. According to civil society, those most at risk include those who are not digitally literate, lack devices, or cannot afford data costs.
