An authentication apparatus for a vehicle 52 comprises: a camera 14; a controller (12, figure 1); and a memory (16) comprising stored authentication data; wherein: the authentication apparatus is configured to: detect, by the camera, an identifying object 20 associated with a user, the identifying object having a source of authentication data 22; read, by the controller, the source authentication data thereby to provide read authentication data; compare, by the controller, the stored authentication data with the read authentication data; and when the read authentication data matches the stored authentication data, the authentication apparatus is configured selectively to enable one or more functions of a vehicle to which the authentication apparatus is connectable, in dependence on the read authentication data associated with the identifying object. The identifying object may be a driving licence, passport, ID card or the like. A secondary authentication device 60 may be provided, said secondary device being configured to provide a biometric measurement to thereby correlate the measurement with the data stored in the memory. A remote server 30 may be in communication with the apparatus. A controller for use with the apparatus, and a method of use, are also disclosed.
