These are the big changes and new laws coming to Ontario in DIGITAL ID PROGRAM
After a delay due to the rollout of vaccine certificate system, Ontario’s digital ID program will launch sometime in 2022, though the government hasn't given a specific date.
When the digital ID program launches, Ontarians will be able to have an electronic version of their government ID – like driver's licences and health cards – stored in their digital wallet app.
The digital ID program will allow people and businesses to prove who they are both online and in person without using a physical card.
According to the government, the digital ID will offer more privacy to users than a physical ID.
Ontarians are not required to participate in the digital ID program.
