<p>We have engaged with Apple on this issue at Ministerial and Official level, and
we are confident that Apple are taking this issue seriously. We will continue to engage
with Apple at senior levels to ensure that this issue stays on their priority list
and seek further opportunities to work with them on a technical level to ensure that
they understand our specific use case.</p><p><br>At present, applicants can attend
any of our 13 Chip Checker locations to have their ID document scanned, if they choose
to do so. Once the scheme is fully open by 30 March, the app will be optional. There
will be over 50 locations across the UK where applicants can have their identity document
scanned. Applicants will also be able to post identity documents to the Home Office
to be checked and returned quickly.</p>
