However, Royal Mail did not sign the new contract. Users are therefore unable to create a new GOV.UK Verify account with Royal Mail.</p><p>Royal Mail remain listed as a previous identity provider while users who hold an existing account with Royal Mail remain able to sign into GOV.UK Verify with this account. If a user does not have a GOV.UK Verify account, they are not offered Royal Mail as an identity provider to verify their identity.</p> answering member printed Lord Young of Cookham question first answered 15/02/2019 12:46:56 answering member 57 label Biography information for Lord Young of Cookham
