Confirmed identity

This pattern lets the user know we have confirmed their identity. This is part of confirming their identity when they sign in with a Government Gateway account for the first time.

When to use

Use this pattern when we can confirm the user’s identity.

There is also a pattern when we could not confirm their identity.

How it works

Use the standard page template from your service and have the same:

header
phase banner
footer

The page should have:

‘We have confirmed your identity — service name — GOV.UK’ as the page title
‘We have confirmed your identity’ as the <h1> page heading
a ‘Continue’ call to action

HTML
Nunjucks

              <header class="hmrc-page-heading">
  <h1 class="govuk-heading-xl">We have confirmed your identity</h1>
</header>

<button type="submit" class="govuk-button" data-module="govuk-button">
  Continue
</button>

                <header class="hmrc-page-heading">
  <h1 class="govuk-heading-xl">Rydym wedi cadarnhau pwy ydych</h1>
</header>

<button type="submit" class="govuk-button" data-module="govuk-button">
  Yn eich blaen
</button>

                {% from "hmrc/components/page-heading/macro.njk"  import hmrcPageHeading %}
{% from "govuk/components/button/macro.njk" import govukButton %}

{{ hmrcPageHeading({
  text: 'We have confirmed your identity'
}) }}

{{ govukButton({
  text: "Continue"
}) }}

                  {% from "hmrc/components/page-heading/macro.njk"  import hmrcPageHeading %}
{% from "govuk/components/button/macro.njk" import govukButton %}

{{ hmrcPageHeading({
  text: 'Rydym wedi cadarnhau pwy ydych'
}) }}

{{ govukButton({
  text: "Yn eich blaen"
}) }}

Do not use the confirmation page pattern because this is not the end of the user’s journey.
