● secure the UK's status as a global hub for the free and responsible flow of personal data - complementing our ambitious agenda for new trade deals and data partnerships with some of the worlds fastest growing economies

● reinforce the responsibility of businesses to keep personal information safe, while empowering them to grow and innovate

● ensure that the ICO remains a world-leading regulator, enabling people to use data responsibly to achieve economic and social goals

Digital access to the attributes these documents contain can solve these issues. It can also have benefits such as improving inclusion. If you do not have a passport, perhaps another government service can validate your age.
