To be fair I only come here for the comment section these days. Still some insightful people here. The articles are terrible in many cases others just lack so much information they may as well not have been posted. Even worse are the ones with affiliate links built into them.

Isn't that what the immigration ARC ID cards are for? If you're a citizen by birth you'll have NI and most likely either a passport or drivers license, be. If you're a visa based immigration then you'll have a passport and a evisa which will state your right to work. You can also (for free) check the right to work of applicants using the government portal. We have so many ways already of proving right to work that it makes little sense to add yet another one at such a cost. The people that are employed and have no right to work aren't going to stop because we have another form of ID they and their employers will just continue doing it under the table.

Bullshit. I've yet to encounter a contract where anything more than a passport or drivers license and NI number were required. Heck even security clearance only needed my NI and drivers license to get the ball rolling. It's a stupidly expensive replacement for systems we already have. If you're worried about handing over address information put tape on the DL card. £2 worth of tape is infinitely more productive than £2billion(UK IT so probably 10) of yet another ID standard.
