Looking to buy some to print out funny party favor ID cards for a place setting. I would just use heavy paper, but I think the plastic would hold up better. (It's a murder mystery party my parents are throwing, all of the guests get new identities, I'm in charge of decor). Where do they sell that? Will it work in a regular printer?
Where can I buy ID card stock?
For picture and source check out:

Check out your local business supply store:
Office Depot
http://www.officedepot.com/textPaging.do...
or Office Land
I know that I have seen them at one or the other. Print, personalize, and insert.
Could also buy a roll of wide clear plastic tape and "laminate" the tags yourself! Connect however you wish, pins, safety pins, lanyard, ribbon, etc.
Reply:Maybe you could do it on Shrinky Dink and then just not bake them.

Reply:You can buy heavy cardstock (by the ream) in all colors at Staples or any office supply place. Yes, it will run through a printer fine. I have done it a million times. Here's another idea. If you wanted to use plastic....they make clear printable sticker sheets (8-1/2 x 11). You could print what you wanted, peel off, and stick on any anything, including plastic. There are all sorts of possibilities.

What states provide id cards without too many requirements?
I've lived in several states and they all have the same requirements. A birth certificate, another form of i.d. and proof of address.
What states provide id cards without too many requirements?
all states require you to prove your birth and residence ss# the state you live in will have a web to go to that will tell you what you need to have for an ID
Reply:And why would you be asking that, Mr. Underage Drinker?

ID CARDS? Thoughts and opinions?
Hello all, I feel very strongly about ID cards, but I won't say whether I'm in favour or not. Basically I want to gage what the common reaction to them is? Do you care about the issue of ID cards? Are you well informed about ID cards? And, most of all, are you for or against. Would love as much feedback as possible!
ID CARDS? Thoughts and opinions?
I don't think Jo Public fully understand the implications of ID cards, linked to databases. I'm strongly against them as I fear they are a powerful profiling tool.
Reply:Just a couple of points about ID cards. In the UK when terrorism was beginning to be a real problem, the government said that terrorism would not force us to change our lives. Making ID cards compulsory IS changing our lives.
Secondly what proof will I need to take with me to get my ID card? Passport, birth certificate, driving licence? If I can prove who I am to get an ID card, why do I need an ID card?
Once again the people of the UK have been sold a wrong 'un.
Reply:No probs with ID Cards. But they can be forged of course so they are not all that helpful.
Reply:I simply don't understand why people are making such a fuss about ID schemes. As it's now, the government have enough information on each and every one of us CCTV follow us wherever we go, via credit/debit card they know our spending habits and now thanks to Oyster card they even no our train journeys so I really can't see the argument against it. Simple fact is we are monitored anyway.
My other point is why should one worries unless they have something to hide. Ok I understand issues around who will pick up the bill and security, I guess like anything else the bill will be pushed on to public.
Reply:we might as well have them, we've got everything else
Reply:We have passports and photgraphic driving lincecs, we do not need another one!
Reply:Having carried a photo ID since my university days I have no problem with carrying something that can prove who I am if I need it. I live in France where it is a legal requirement to carry your ID at all times. The Gendarmarie or Police can stop you at any time and ask to see it.
What I object to with the current government plan is the amount of personal data to be stored on the card. I just don't trust them to keep it secure or not abuse it. I also know that the counterfeiters have already been able to copy the chips this data will be stored on so its already unsecure.
In France we were issued good old fashioned plastic cards with a machine readable strip (like the passport). All it shows is your name, address, work status and other basic information. No fingerprints, blood group, DNA profile etc.
There is an acronym from the military that comes to mind - KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid. If the card is complex and holds valuable data people will want to copy it, if its simple and holds no real value wheres the point in copying it.
ID cards will arrive in UK whether we like them or not so we might as well get used to it. I just hope that the government realises the cost (and they've NEVER been able to stick to budget) and goes with the cheap simple card not the full biometric one.
Reply:What ID cards? School ID cards? Work ID cards? Government ID cards? Be more specific.
Reply:I personally think that only the people who have something to hide, for instance benefit cheats will be against ID cards, surely it can only be a good thing regarding this and helping stamp out a lot of crime and wasted police time. I'm all for them.
Reply:don't know much about them except I can see that there is no way a country that is a welfare state can afford to be without them and come what may they will be in the UK soon. I am not against them - I have more reason to be for them.
Reply:I have no objection to ID cards but I don't see why I should have to pay for one. If the government wants me to carry one then it can pay for it.
Reply:Because of the fraudulent nature of some people they're a necessary evil.
Reply:We carry enough forms of ID around during the course of our lives (passport, birth certificate, etc), %26amp; the Government or any other agency can check up on us whenever they wish. The introduction of ID cards is just another source of revenue for the Treasury, who should be the ones paying for these cards if they want us to have them.
Reply:I have nothing to hide but how will this information be correlated!
Reply:If somebody has a passport or a photo driving licence I see no reason why they should be forced to also have an ID card, as they already have the documentation to prove their identity, and its authenticity can then be verified. But anybody in the UK today who has neither will have difficulties in living unless they have some other positive means of proving their identity. You can not open a bank account, or get a credit card, or hire a card, or get benefit or get a discount on railways such as for being a "senior" etc. etc. So there should be an ID card available for people to get if they need one, but then if they need one, why not get a passport even if they never decide to go out of the UK?

Im doing some studies into the
- advantages of ID cards
- Disadvantages of ID cards
Please can you give me some ideas???
Thanks
ID cards, advantages and disadvantages?
Advantages:
- you can prove who you are
- you can use it as a form of ID (sometimes you need to present more than one)
- prove you belong to whatever group issued the card (country and state, school, club, etc)
Disadvantages:
- if you need the ID card, it sucks to lose it or ruin it, then you're screwed
- stolen identity
- personal info all in one place (full name, address, height, weight, hair/eye color), and if someone else gets ahold of it, they can stalk you.
- people will try to make fake ones

Does anybody else have a problem with New Haven CT new ID cards for illegals?
Why is New Haven connecticut giving municiple ID cards to illegals? The illegals are going to be allowed to open bank accounts, and buy apartments. Isnt this considered aiding and abbeting a criminal? After all they came here illegaly, so doesn't that make them a criminal?!?!?! does anybody else have a problem with this!!??!!?? What can i do!!!!
This is an article about the situation i am talking about......

I don't know why these "sanctuary" cities think it is a great idea to condone criminal activity. I can't understand how this is allowed when other towns get sued for trying to keep their town a safer place for their citizens.
I have a major problem with this immigration situation. We as citizens have no rights except to foot the bill.

How does a National ID Card help fight Illegal Immigration?
Isn't that what a Social Security card does. Yes you can fake the documents but you cannot fake a number and not think people would notice. The SSA sends a document out every year to the employer telling them that their are discrepencies with their Social Security numbers. How would having a National ID card be any better than what we have.

Reply:A Social Security card is a tax paying card or number. The IRS go not care it a person is legal or illegal as long as they pay their taxes. I National ID Card like a passport is proof to a business that the person is legal to hire and could be use as a ID instead of a Soc.Sec. number. This could cut ID thief.
So say a National ID Card is more government control, I say not due to they have all our records already.

Reply:It does not.
We have immigrants (illegal as you may call them) from CHINA in the USA. Yes even the little tiny ocean between the two country's can not stop people from trying to get to America. (And succeeding.) There is nothing wrong with them coming here either. Every working person is a benefit to society. Every person who is involved in government or taxes of any kind is a leech of the economy. National ID Cards create another government agency or so called 'service' to people. More costs, More enforcement, More of a police state. Less freedom, and it will ruin our economy because no one will want to come to America. The 'Free' country of the United States has more people in prison per population than any other country in the world. This, and war is what your tax $ is spent on. The have no obligation to protect you and your life, only 'society.'
Reply:It does not. There is no such thing as a tamper proof I.D. card. Initially it might be harder to counterfeit. But where there is a will. There will always be a way. It would only be use on migrant/guest workers and so on. Illegals would not be part of this process. At least future illegals past what ever date our government agrees on. Just the illegals that are already here. It does not help fight illegal immigration. Just keep track of the the illegals that are already here. That is provided they choose to be part of the process to get the cards in the first place. Congressmen say it will help thwart terrorist or criminals from staying in the country. Why? They will not sign up for the program/process. Or from coming to the country in the first place. How can that be we can not stop them now. Bring the rest of the illegals into the light of American society. Ya, right! Little Mexico in the US.

Reply:The social security card is not and has never been a form of identification. What would a national ID card accomplish? First off, it would eliminate voter fraud.

As for the argument from both sides of the spectrum that the poor couldn't afford it, the elderly couldn't get one, etc, those obstacles can be overcome. Unfortunately, both sides (Republicans and Democrats) benefit from the presence of illegal aliens in this country and will never implement a national ID card.

ID cards, why not?
If you've nothing to hide and you're a law abiding citizen, then why do you disagree with ID cards in the UK? So what if you believe Big Brother is watching? After all, don't you already have a passport?
ID cards, why not?
The "nothing to hide" argument is bunkum. The point is that you have a right to privacy.
Okay, so let's pretend for a moment that the billions of pounds the system will cost to implement is actually worthwhile and wouldn't be better used tending to our dying healthcare and education systems.
Let's say that your personal data is stored in a 'secure' (quotes used due to the appalling security track record our government has) system which can only be accessed by duly authorised people. For those people, what's to stop them looking up their co-workers in a moment of boredom? What about their spouse? What about you? Why do they have a right to know everything about you? The impression that only 'government agencies' have access to your data is incorrect. Those agencies are made up of people, and people are universally nosy.
And even then, what good does it do? The prototype cards have already been successfully duplicated with relatively inexpensive equipment. Having a single definitive source of identification - and particularly one of this type - makes it easier for a determined criminal to forge their identity, not harder.
If you've got nothing to hide, then surely you'll have no problem supplying me with your bank statements, email and phone records for the last 6 years.
Reply:ID cards may not be as blatant a form of surveillance as CCTV but the point is, the intention is basically the same. "Let us keep an eye on you so we can control you and punish you if you dare to step out of line"

Reply:I agree, its only the villans who dont want them.
Reply:Get real - if you are in the Uk, you should know that for afew pounds, you can get a "passport", National Insurance number and most other important documents to stay illegally in this country. ID cards will be the same - just another rip off by the British Government to pay for the wars that the yankies keep dragging us into. I don't buy into the idea that if you have nothing to hide ID cards are not a problem - with the UK government, you do have a problem - they cannot be trusted.
Reply:The point is I DO have something to hide - its called my PRIVACY.
I do not want government officials and sneering bureaucrats knowing every little facet of my life and willfulling exchanging this information among their corporate interests.
There will be up to FIFTY personal details about you included on these cards, and that's just the beginning.. there are of course plans to expand the amount of information so practically EVERY detail of your entire life is collected and stored on a government database for their perusal.
Plus you will be forced to pay £120 (roughly) for the privilege or face a £2,000 fine and then prison. I find this outrageous, insulting and a complete violation of my rights. You don't have a problem with this?!
If Blair said it was a legal requirement to have CCTV in every room of your house would you object? I mean you got nothing to hide, right?!

This was a free country.
Reply:ID cards aren't just ID cards.
They are containers of infomation about you that you dont even know.
I dont have a thing to hide from anyone, but why would I want someone to be able to read my DNA, or my thumbprint, or my retina, or know my date of birth, address and mother and father from the swipe of a card.
And dont make a mistake, these cards are planned with biometrics.
They are also the first step toward keeping everything about you in one place.
Bank cards, credit cards, drivers licence, television licence, gas bills, everything I said earlier and more.
Yeah, its handy.
What if you lose it?
But aside from that, I have no problems with the essence of an ID card. I wouldn't care if it was literally just an ID card. Its the infomation they want on it I'm against.
Reply:Nothing to hide, but yet wold you want to have a cop in your house making sure you don't do anything wrong?
I think probably not.
Communism. We soon won't even know who are friends are.
Reply:That's a great question!
Some people see it has an infringement on their right to choose! carrying a passport isn't compulsory. Stubborn lot us Brits! Our freedom to privacy is deeply ingrained! Some seem to think that the Police are going to be stopping them and asking to see their ID all the time like it was in the war!
I realised a while ago, for years we've carried ID cards! Willingly! Driving Licenses or Traceable Bank or Organ Donor Cards! Big Brother already sees us on CCTV sometimes even outside our homes (and that has caught enough real criminals to convince me its worth it!!) We should all know the Police haven't the man-power to walk the streets picking on the innocent among us!
Wake up people! We gave away our freedom for convenience but How often have you been stopped by the police?
Start asking! Why do Mr Blair %26amp; Co stir you up about this irrelevent issue?
Reply:I don't object to having a national identity, to having my person officially recognised. Nor do I object to a rationalisation of all the various different government databases on which I'm registered (passport, customs and revenue, driving license, etc.....)
All of this seems sensible and useful. BUT this is not what the national ID card scheme is being mooted as.
The proposed scheme, instead of saving money and resources is the most expensive single IT project ever taken anywhere!!!
Yet still doesn't rationalise any other databases, instead they all have to be massively upgraded in order to refer to the new mega database.
The plastic cards in your wallet will do what exactly? I have yet to have someone explain to me in detail or by example, how exactly they will prevent crime.
A sensible, rationalisation of databases in order to cut costs and improve accuaracy? Yes!
An incredibly expensive and functionally useless piece of plastic? No!
Reply:because in the end it would lead to a big brother like thing with the goverment watching or every move in the end its our human right to privacy and we would have to pay for them if they wanna make money let them f*****g get off their a**e and do their jobs instead of expect us to coff up
Reply:It is not a question of having nothing to hide,the question should be where do they go next. Once the state enforces the carrying of these all singing all dancing ID cards, will you be required to swipe them going into a pub,shop,garage boarding a bus or a train,even to enter a town or city.The murderers on the underground and Smith square all carried some form of ID. So the criminal reason for ID cards is lost.This is the main argument being put forward by BLAIR and if he wants them they must be wrong%26gt;
Reply:i agree. we're watched wherever we go through cctv, we can be tracked by our credit card/ debit card transactions. mobile phones can be sattelite tracked, when we're on the net we can be tracked, even watching sattelite or cable tv they know what we're watching. accusing id cards of being a big brother move is a bit like bolting the stable door etc.....
Reply:you don't have to carry a passport with you wherever you go. i have nothing to hide (well, nothing illegal) i am a law abiding citizen but the thought of ID cards is repugnant to me. big brother is already watching enough (there are enough cctv cameras out there for that). i disagree with id cards because it infringes on my civil liberties. i don't want to be told i must have a card which i must carry round at all times. think about the implications and what could happen.
passports are faked, why wouldn't an id card? the amount of bureaucracy involved would be ludicrous and it's just all too stupid and horrible to contemplate for long or my head hurts and i feel desperately sorry for the world.

ID cards, why not?
The "nothing to hide" argument is bunkum. The point is that you have a right to privacy.
Okay, so let's pretend for a moment that the billions of pounds the system will cost to implement is actually worthwhile and wouldn't be better used tending to our dying healthcare and education systems.
Let's say that your personal data is stored in a 'secure' (quotes used due to the appalling security track record our government has) system which can only be accessed by duly authorised people. For those people, what's to stop them looking up their co-workers in a moment of boredom? What about their spouse? What about you? Why do they have a right to know everything about you? The impression that only 'government agencies' have access to your data is incorrect. Those agencies are made up of people, and people are universally nosy.
And even then, what good does it do? The prototype cards have already been successfully duplicated with relatively inexpensive equipment. Having a single definitive source of identification - and particularly one of this type - makes it easier for a determined criminal to forge their identity, not harder.
If you've got nothing to hide, then surely you'll have no problem supplying me with your bank statements, email and phone records for the last 6 years.
Reply:ID cards may not be as blatant a form of surveillance as CCTV but the point is, the intention is basically the same. "Let us keep an eye on you so we can control you and punish you if you dare to step out of line"
Do you really want to be controlled by the state? Or free? Report Abuse

Reply:I agree, its only the villans who dont want them.
Reply:Get real - if you are in the Uk, you should know that for afew pounds, you can get a "passport", National Insurance number and most other important documents to stay illegally in this country. ID cards will be the same - just another rip off by the British Government to pay for the wars that the yankies keep dragging us into. I don't buy into the idea that if you have nothing to hide ID cards are not a problem - with the UK government, you do have a problem - they cannot be trusted.
Reply:The point is I DO have something to hide - its called my PRIVACY.
I do not want government officials and sneering bureaucrats knowing every little facet of my life and willfulling exchanging this information among their corporate interests.
There will be up to FIFTY personal details about you included on these cards, and that's just the beginning.. there are of course plans to expand the amount of information so practically EVERY detail of your entire life is collected and stored on a government database for their perusal.
Plus you will be forced to pay £120 (roughly) for the privilege or face a £2,000 fine and then prison. I find this outrageous, insulting and a complete violation of my rights. You don't have a problem with this?!
If Blair said it was a legal requirement to have CCTV in every room of your house would you object? I mean you got nothing to hide, right?!

Reply:Oh dear - it's back to only the guilty have anything to fear is it ? If I have a passport (and I do) it also means I have plenty of ID already besides my driving licence etc etc .
I don't want to be in a position where I have to produce my papers if I have done nothing wrong.
This was a free country.
Reply:ID cards aren't just ID cards.
They are containers of infomation about you that you dont even know.
I dont have a thing to hide from anyone, but why would I want someone to be able to read my DNA, or my thumbprint, or my retina, or know my date of birth, address and mother and father from the swipe of a card.
And dont make a mistake, these cards are planned with biometrics.
They are also the first step toward keeping everything about you in one place.
Bank cards, credit cards, drivers licence, television licence, gas bills, everything I said earlier and more.
Yeah, its handy.
What if you lose it?
But aside from that, I have no problems with the essence of an ID card. I wouldn't care if it was literally just an ID card. Its the infomation they want on it I'm against.
Reply:Nothing to hide, but yet wold you want to have a cop in your house making sure you don't do anything wrong?
I think probably not.
Communism. We soon won't even know who are friends are.
Reply:That's a great question!
Some people see it has an infringement on their right to choose! carrying a passport isn't compulsory. Stubborn lot us Brits! Our freedom to privacy is deeply ingrained! Some seem to think that the Police are going to be stopping them and asking to see their ID all the time like it was in the war!
I realised a while ago, for years we've carried ID cards! Willingly! Driving Licenses or Traceable Bank or Organ Donor Cards! Big Brother already sees us on CCTV sometimes even outside our homes (and that has caught enough real criminals to convince me its worth it!!) We should all know the Police haven't the man-power to walk the streets picking on the innocent among us!
Wake up people! We gave away our freedom for convenience but How often have you been stopped by the police?
Start asking! Why do Mr Blair %26amp; Co stir you up about this irrelevent issue?
Reply:I don't object to having a national identity, to having my person officially recognised. Nor do I object to a rationalisation of all the various different government databases on which I'm registered (passport, customs and revenue, driving license, etc.....)
All of this seems sensible and useful. BUT this is not what the national ID card scheme is being mooted as.
The proposed scheme, instead of saving money and resources is the most expensive single IT project ever taken anywhere!!!
Yet still doesn't rationalise any other databases, instead they all have to be massively upgraded in order to refer to the new mega database.
The plastic cards in your wallet will do what exactly? I have yet to have someone explain to me in detail or by example, how exactly they will prevent crime.
A sensible, rationalisation of databases in order to cut costs and improve accuaracy? Yes!
An incredibly expensive and functionally useless piece of plastic? No!
Reply:because in the end it would lead to a big brother like thing with the goverment watching or every move in the end its our human right to privacy and we would have to pay for them if they wanna make money let them f*****g get off their a**e and do their jobs instead of expect us to coff up
Reply:It is not a question of having nothing to hide,the question should be where do they go next. Once the state enforces the carrying of these all singing all dancing ID cards, will you be required to swipe them going into a pub,shop,garage boarding a bus or a train,even to enter a town or city.The murderers on the underground and Smith square all carried some form of ID. So the criminal reason for ID cards is lost.This is the main argument being put forward by BLAIR and if he wants them they must be wrong%26gt;

Do you agree or disagree with Ron Paul on the national ID card?

Paul: The purpose of government is to protect the secrecy and the privacy of all individuals, not the secrecy of government. We don't need a national ID card.
Do you agree or disagree with Ron Paul on the national ID card?
Some of these answers are so dense. Maybe it's because a few are serial anti-ron'ers. They cannot even admit they agree with him on a few things, so will spew nonsense.
A national ID card, is nothing different than Hitlers era of "Papers Please" as someone already stated. ILLEGAL immigrants seem to be able to fake any ID card anyway, so how will it work?
If you know something about security systems, you don't wonder how it works, you wonder how it would fail. Such a card will not be unforgeable, just like DVD's and even HD-DVD's are able to be copied, TPM chips in computers can be circumvented, Xbox 360's, etc.
What happens when you lose or misplace your card? I've left my wallet somewhere twice in my life, now who has your ID, and who has the authority to provide you with a new one, and how do you prove you are who you are? Do you have two copies? Can you give your copy to your illegal buddy? What happens to the 5th amendment? What if someone doesn't like you at your job, or in the government, and shuts your's off?
Now, you have a single database, perhaps with everyone's information on it. What if there is a breach? Don't tell me that the government never has internal breaches. What if there is a breach from an outside force or government? China for example, they have extreme hacking skills, and have strutted their prowess breaking into the NSA, as well as downloading terabytes of data from German government offices.
What happens if the database is destroyed, does America stop functioning because it cannot verify anything? What happens if your bank info is tied to it? Now you can't buy anything? What happens to all your money?
Some people just don't think things through, some are oblivious (even politicians, they aren't security experts), and I hope some of you have an open enough mind, that you can mull over some of what I said.
Reply:I agree, we should never have an national ID card, as "big brother" is already in every faction of our lives now.
Sadly, no matter his, or mine, or your opinion-on the matter, the national ID card is already in the process of becoming fact.
The mandates of the federal government regarding your drivers license, call for just such information being embedded as required by the feds for full control, and eventually they Will know every time you get fuel, food or whatever when it becomes necessary to show or slide your license for any service. All the information will be on the magnetic strip, and the card will have to be swiped to purchase fuel and other items. It's already here friend.

i ordered a ps3 online from best buy and i only have the order number for the item no id card. Does best buy require id cards? If they do will i get a refund credit for not getting the item
If you do a store pickup do you need id card? All i have is order id?
You need to have your id and the card you used to purchase it online (unless it was a gift card) with you at the pickup counter. You can call 888-BESTBUY to cancel the order or wait 8 days and it will cancel automatically if you don't pick it up. Do you have a school id? Anything with your picture and name would work.

ID cards; big brother or big nothing?
In this country (UK) we used to have ID cards during the war and they were phased out. France have identity cards and don't baulk at having to use them - which is very un-french. So why are we so anti? Is it because we are secretive or clandestine, no, so is it just something else to got hot under the collar about as we haven't had a poll tax riot in a long time. I would like to hear from people as well who have them, what are your views of having them?
ID cards; big brother or big nothing?
i cant see them making much difference, just like fake passports %26amp; id theft, im sure the same will come from ID cards..
In spain they have always had these ID cards, these cards must be carried at all times, if asked by the police to show ID %26amp; you dont have it, you will recieve a big fine...infact in spain without these cards its quite difficult to do anything...
This didnt stop the madrid bombings...

Reply:If you like ID cards, then you will love RFIDs. Just wait for this to be a government solution. Then an individual can be tracked everywhere he goes, everything he buys. It would be frightening.
Reply:I've had an ID card since moving to Switzerland in 1971. Personally, it's not a problem. The only problem I have is the format. The Swiss citizens card has been in credit card format for several years, but the foreign residents card is larger. For most purposes my credit card format Swiss driving licence is enough.
Way back in 1979, when Hong Kong was still a Crown Colony, I had to carry an ID card (credit card format) and I didn't hear any objections from other Brits. Surely ID cards would make it easier to track true illegal immigrants and avoid paying social benefits to those who were really not entitled to them. Asylum seekers whose case was still under consideration would be issued a card, as would legal foreign nationals. In Switzerland such cards are a different colour from the Swiss national ID card, and instantly recognisable .What's the problem?
Reply:Erm mate you need to think before your nose.
the mafia, dogy laboritories, bad companies etc can all check IDs to spto journalists and anyone who would be politically against them.
As can police at any demonstration say against arms fairs or keep anyone against a foreign dictors arrival .
ie bad guys check IDs as well.
Plus ours will have more info then the french ones and the government and companies all sell info to anyone who pays. Plus it gets hacked or the info could be innacurate.
Many bad governments have misused the ID system like nazis.
Your ENTIRE history will be on them, every petition you ever signed, every little job say when a girl worked in a sauna as despirate to stop her finding work, say if you have medical conditions or say you had an abortion.
Plus as said if you are likly to give a company any grief for its bad or immoral activities it will lable you as an activist etc.
The police are not always good especailly when it comes to anything political.
its not so simple mate.
Plus the real bad guys will find a way around them
Reply:ive got a driving licence with my photo on it but when you get stopped they now have a machine which identifies you through your fingerprints,so whats the point of the licence,they are bringing out very expensive new passports which hold all your details,so why id cards,its a matter of civil rights,we already have the most cctv,the police are always beating people up and getting away with it,they love people like you
Reply:Big Brother. Think of the Oyster Card for teenagers, it allows people to watch their movements. An ID card would be just as bad. OK, I don't know about us being secretive people, but I agree that we love to reject ideas and attack proposals by the government. But with that said, I still think that it would be exactly like the government watching us. So I say NO ID!!
Reply:I am very anti ID cards and there are a few reasons for that:
First I come from Egypt where they have ID cards and have done so for 50 years. That has done nothing to deter terrorists. Sharm for example has one of the most stringent security checks...yet there are still bombings. So if it doesn't help national security why are they promoting it as such (sounds like another 'Saddam has weapons of mass destruction' ploy)
Second in Egypt it is FREE I refuse to pay even more money to a government that won't be happy until everything I earn is given to them.
3rd every time the government has come up with a silly scheme it has led to failure. Let us use the most recent example in the news Junior Doctors and this new website for applying...after so many hospitals have pulled out of the scheme they have had to admit they were wrong and are now changing it...in my personal view this is a great opportunity for them to screw up.
4th I am a law abiding citizen I am a Muslim and an Arab......I have already been stopped under the prevention of terrorism act a number of times, which is fine. But should the need be there, with my details they can make me a scapegoat...NO THANKS. I have worked hard all my life and don't want it thrown away like the people in Guantanamo or the lads from Birmingham who were taken away for a week and then they realised they are ordinary citizens....

Seriously I havnt got a problem with them, most stuff about is already recorded somewhere.

If we all had ID everyone wouyld be able to prove who they really are.
Bring it on..
Reply:I don't see any problem with having an identity card since people will know of where you come from(country) if yuo were to lose your passport people would help you using that.
Do you know that every one in the whole world wants to be a citizen of the UK and if ID cards were introduced it would be made impossible for non citizens to acquire your citizenship. My opinion.
Reply:It wuuldn't bother me if we had them. I've got nothing to hide.
Reply:I agree with pretty much everything that As_It_Is and Ivan R had to say.
I would add the government are twisting themselves into knots trying to justify id cards. First they said their main purpose was to combat the threat of terrorism. Then when pushed on the matter, they admitted that they wouldn't be effective for that purpose. Then they said they were to combat benefit fraud, and had to admit that they wouldn't be effective for that either. Then they tried identity theft as a justification, until it was shown that id cards might actually make it easier for criminals to steal somebodies identity.
So it must be asked, what exactly are they for? I suspect the real reason this government has in mind is to gather marketing information, so that businesses can inundate us with "targeted" spam and junk mail. But in the future, perhaps under an even more unethical government, they could be used as a very sinister means to limit our freedom.
Reply:we need ID for getting in2 pubs and getting can's
it's ok there BUT for the people out side the uk yes they MUST for people witein the uk no ID f the uk people
Reply:i think they are a great idea, I've got nothing to hide, the only people who seem to object to them are those who are up to no good, or the P.C of this country who like to interfere with every new thing that comes along, as for an invasion of my privacy, well if I'm doing nothing wrong, what the problem, and anyway with all the CCTV that's around these days i dare say that if anyone wants to know what I'm up to, they would be able to find out very easily
Reply:I have no problem with ID cards as I have nothing to hide and I would welcome them even more if any one found without one was taken straight to Heathrow and put on a plane and sent anywhere but here.
Reply:My Grandad is vehemently against the idea of ID cards. He had one during the second world war, and didn't like how often the police stopped you and asked to see your ID card.
Personally I don't see a big problem, as long as they limit the amount of information on them.
Reply:On a political/freedom level, I welcome them. I've lived in France where every resident MUST have an ID card, even EU citizens.
In the 18 months I was there, I never got asked for mine once by the police, but used it conveniently to prove who I was when writing a cheque, getting high value items delivered, at the bank etc.
A very useful tool that proves only you are who you say you are and your address.
On a practical level I don't see why I need:
-an NI card and number
-UTR (Unique Tax Reference)
-Passport with a unique number
-a driving licence with a unique number
-An NHS card with a unique number
-numerous profiles storing the same information duplicated across hundreds of IT systems for my GP, dentist etc.
I would prefer that a single government issued card holds all my data in once place and entitlements can be added/removed as necessary e.g. driving licences, points etc. rather than having loads of documents and references.
On the note of IT - it is only since the current government first entered power in 1997 that there has been a series of catastrophic IT projects usually outsourced at extortionate amounts and badly delivered...
Reply:Because governments are not the peoples' friend
Reply:Perhaps it's because they're a weak answer to a complex issue? Or perhaps it's because the Government themselves don't entirely know what problems the ID card will solve? Or perhaps it's because Government is known to change its stance regarding just *what* issues the ID card *should* solve? Or perhaps it's because the ID card won't actually solve any single issue, but only serve to "make it someone else's problem"? Or perhaps it's that the ID card, and associated technologies, are flawed by design because the technology to implement them as promised just isn't sufficiently capable enough? Or perhaps it's because Government has a nasty habit of implementing seemingly 'liberating' Acts of Parliament that, somewhere down the road, turn out to serve an entirely contradictory agenda? (Nonsense!) Or perhaps it's because we're not just talking about a card with our ID on it, but a nationwide database profiling us, as individuals, based on information acquired by means beyond our legal control? Or perhaps it's because some Britons who actually get off their asterixes have had enough with being told what to do, when to do it, how to do it, where to do it and who to do it to, that they're in a prime position to glance behind the veil of 'democracy' and recognise that the ID card - as proposed by this Government - has only one true and disingenuous purpose: promote a surveillance state? Or perhaps it's because the ID card is just another step closer to tagging us at birth, classifying us in youth and conditioning us in adulthood? Or perhaps it's for all these reasons, and much, much more besides?
If you're for the ID card, fine - keep quiet, don't rock the boat and live comfortably in the knowledge that "I've nothing to hide, so I've nothing to fear" and being a private citizen means little to me. But if you believe in privacy - especially if you're middle class, where your vote actually counts - then let it be known, because if you give Government - any Government - an inch then they *will* take a yard. They live, we sleep (in a stupor).
Fascist Spain, Nazi Germany, Communist Russia - history has taught us nothing... Our American cousins have a Bill of Rights whose whole purpose is to *restrict* the powers of Government (okay, so it's cracking under federal presure), whereas we in the UK have 24 hours drinking laws and almost a quarter of the world's CCTV so's to give hoodies something to hide their faces from. Go figure.
But anyway, yes: the ID card is just another something-bloody-else to get all hot under the collar over. ;-)
Reply:To me they look like being expensive and achieving nothing. Any value they might be thought to have as a more reliable form of ID will simply incentivise the fraudsters. Just another government "solution" that isn't, but costs us anyway.

We have our own ID in terms of passport and driving licences.

No!!!
Reply:Yes, it's Big Brother. Trust me in Brasil things are a nightmare because ofthese stupid bloody things. I used to be glad I lived in the UK until I heard about the crackpot scheme to introduce them here.
Reply:If you are a honest person with nothing to hide I don't see why there would be a problem with ID cards. We have virtually got them already with passports, photo driving license etc. Big Brother is already watching - they know what cashpoints/bank you use, they know what you buy at the supermarket via your loyalty card, CCTV is everywhere. I can see no getting away from it.
Reply:I still cant see any real security in the cards they like any security document have to be made and if a product can be manufactured it can be forged or easier still bought like it or not every thing does have it's price this is not necessarily financial threat and fear can also make people venerable so the security of these cards is questionable without the invasion of peoples right to privacy
If a system can be devised that is not forgeable I might be convinced but this would have to be 100% fool proof or there is No point in instigating it
Reply:anything that combats fraud, credit card etc. has to be a good thing. if it helps prevent benefit fraud too even better.
It is not as if any of the information on it could not be found out fairly easily in the first place. it just brings it together with your photo etc..
Reply:We are becoming a dictatorship and these I.D cards are just part of the whole sinister plan by this government to control every aspect of our lives.

Reply:The holes in the system, if they had been brought in a long time ago there might even be less danger because they would not be geared towards the modern information age.
For example, there is space to record things many of us do not wish to be seen. Our shopping habits, our voting history for example. Not only should this be private but there is the opportunity for companies such as supermarkets to record the data for their advertising and product analysis. Then is the category of religion.

What do you think of a National ID card?
I'm a strong advocate of privacy and civil liberties, but I now think we need a National ID card. We have the technology to produce one that can't be tampered or forged. Please don't mention the novel 1984 or Big Brother. That was fiction and this is reality.
What do you think of a National ID card?
Many other countries already have them and they work very well for some things and not so hot for others. They will help track people from one central database. Using your SS card is a big mistake since it is tied to credit reporting and social security benefits. A new and unique numbering system needs to be created. Also, the SS card does not have identification components such a as pictures of fingerprints, which a national ID card should.
Let's be honest though, there will never be a thing as a "unforgable" id card. It's supply and demand, someone will start working of fake ones the minutes someone else is willing to pay for it. But we can make them as hard as possible to fake.

Reply:A social security isn't a positive ID. I can take anyone's SS card and say that is me. You do not have the right to lie about who you are.

Any one who does is up to no good.

What is a better solution to Britain's immigration crises - ID cards or No entitlement to the welfare state?
Both of them
What is a better solution to Britain's immigration crises - ID cards or No entitlement to the welfare state?
I'd say the problem IS the welfare state...it's the old thing of 'easy come, easy go'. If someone walks up to you and hands you 100k, you'll blow through it like it wasn't even there. If you had to WORK and FIGHT to get every penny, you'll watch your wallet like you had eyes in the back of your head, and be very economical. To my mind, that is the immigrants' edge. They've seen the other side of true poverty, we saw the glossy magazine cover, as it were. Not true 100% of the time, but as a general rule...if you have to pay your dentist bill CASH, you're much more likely to take good care of your teeth etc.

Pvc id cards?
Correct me if I am wrong, but the thinnest cards are 10 mil, and photo paper is about 9 mil, so you could try it. You can adjust the printer settings to accept the thickest paper.

I showed the post office my college id card and they would not give me parcel, said I needed state id Adviseme
This is for a Bronx post office. Never had trouble there until this year. Is there a USPS regulation for state id cards only? My id card has my picture on it.
I showed the post office my college id card and they would not give me parcel, said I needed state id Adviseme
Basically anyone can create a fake college i.d.
Yes, there are new regulations that require only certain types of identification as permissible forms of person verification (must be issued by a state or federal entity with photo).

Why was I questioned about my military occupation when presenting them my retired military ID card?
My family and I provided VISAs, in addition to my NY License, and Retired Military ID Card when entering Cornwall, Canada. Several question reguarding my service in the military was asked and I felt the I was being profiled. Other vehicles (at least 20) are allowed access but we are ALWAYS asked for ID and frequently scrutinized about our intentions.
Why was I questioned about my military occupation when presenting them my retired military ID card?
Pretty standard these days. Military people tend to have a higher than average knowledge of 'bad things like explosives' - with all the post 9/11 hysteria, such scrutiny is becoming more common across the world. If you can avoid showing any military ID then you'll find things probably go a lot smoother.
Reply:Why do you bother showing them your military ID? Its none of their business that you are prior military and in regards to your occupation, that could be confidential information they certainly have no need to know. I would just not bring out the ID anymore.
Reply:You got lucky?
Who knows why they look harder at some people that at others. Call the FBI and ask them.
Maybe your making too many trips to Canada.
Reply:Because you're an American, and since Bush has been arbitrarely attacking countries, and making enemies, we are not liked right now around the world. We havent been seen as 'liberators' in Iraq, and we look like an imperialistic dictatorship in foriegn eyes. Our diplomacy sucks with our current president.......so....Canada doesnt like us...that means, if elected, MCCAIN WILL INVADE CANADA!

Armed resistance against National ID cards?
These things are sick!!! The government will be able to control what you can buy, sell, travel to, what buildings you can enter etc, etc. I'm sorry anyone that wants one of these needs to be executed on the spot regardless if they have a family or not!!!! We all need to visit Holland and Holland of London and buy some serious fire power from these people.
Armed resistance against National ID cards?
First, this is something instituted by the Bush regime, allegedly in response to the threat of terrorists and undocumented (illegal) immigrants. It was passed by the Republican Congress and is now the law of the land.
FYI
The fact that you are openly calling for violence in response to a Bush edict, could find you in violation of the Patriot Act.
Also, intimating about arming to make change to a Bush edict may find you charged as an enemy combatant. You can then be arrested and deported to foreign soil to be held indefinitely. Your right to habeas corpus (be charged with a crime) could be suspended, and your right to trial by jury, your right to a speedy trial, your right to confront your accuser...all can be suspended indefinitely for "national security" reasons.
So...How did you vote?
Reply:they are national standards for individual states ID cards..its up to your state if they want to comply with the standards and issue them or not
Reply:Where have you been? The Government can and already does all those things. Now what you are proposing is armed insurection against the USA.. Umm thats illegal under USC %26amp; CFR (just the proposition of it) I'll see If I can get you a good room at Guantanimo.. I know a few people there LOL
Really what difference does it make now? National ID card or state ID card, Drivers license, SSN, Military ID, OPM ID(most people dont have those.. its a Civilain or retired Fed employee ID) Passport or anyone of another 20 ID cards.. everything is computer tied now.. they can check any of em in about 10 mins or less.. Personally I'd rather just carry 1 fracking ID card and be done with it. Why the big deal about a national ID but no complaint about a state ID?
Hell if you think about it your Visa Credit card %26amp; your ATM card is nothing but another "trackable" ID card.. LOL you already have a national ID.. you just didnt know it...
Reply:National ID cards will start out as passports which you need to travel from country to country anyways, its not sick nor intrusive. An ID card says you are who you say you are and not some guy with a phoney ID. Some companies need to verify before they employ people and right now all you need is your social security card and a driver's license. but if you dont' drive you still need an ID card to cash a check. Your certainly going over the top over something that is pretty much in place allready.

Could the lost records scandal be a cunning plan to discredit the ID card scheme, which backfired?
Could the current child benefit records fiasco have been set up as a way of letting the government wriggle out of it's commitment to the ID card scheme without admitting their previous arguments in favour were simply wrong?
This is just a bit of tongue in cheek speculation by me and there is no evidence whatsoever to back it up. Considering that Alistair Darling is the principle opponent of ID cards within Gordon Brown's cabinet though - you never know!

Should we use DNA as a way of ID cards?
people would find life easer that way you think with people stealing our ID" s, and if we want to find family and finding the bad guys would be easer to whats not to like about it.
Should we use DNA as a way of ID cards?
At present technology doesn't exist to allow one to do this.
In addition identity fraud only makes up a tiny percetage of crimes. Only a vicious, out of control dictator would approve of storing everyones DNA and details on a big database "just in case" a small number of people get up to no good.
My DNA is my own. No-one else has the right to use it to tag or track me, any more than they have the right to use any other piece of biometric data.

Reply:Sounds like a plot for a futuristic science fiction movie. As long as we could trust the government to do the right thing all of the time, then DNA card is a great idea.
Reply:If the technology for reading and storing is 100% reliable then this will work. At the moment, if the machine eats your ATM card you can go into the bank and show some other ID to get it sorted.
If the machine has a blip and doesn't like your DNA reading then you're going to struggle to produce something that's 'better ID' than DNA.

What is the professionally accepted size for a logo and an ID card in Adobe Photoshpo?
i want the best resolution and size for a logo and id card for a company what number should i use??
What is the professionally accepted size for a logo and an ID card in Adobe Photoshpo?
A logo should be done in a vector gaphic format so that it can be blown up or shrunk to any size needed, from a tiny telephone book ad, to a business card, to a billboard on the size of a building.
There is no "professionally accepted" size for this.
350 by 500, for example would look pretty raggedy on the side of a truck.
And, 300 dpi is meaningless unless one knows what SIZE the graphic will be.
Reply:the size should be given by your client. credit card dimensions are roughly 3.370" × 2.125" and would probably be a decent size for an id (perhaps larger); however, the thing that will make it look crisp when printed is the resolution. 300 dpi is pretty standard for something of this sort, but if you had to you could probably get away with less.

ID cards. Do you think they will help in the UK?
I think the surely will. I know it is a big expense but so are a lot of things. At least with idendity cards, if someone is stopped and they don't have one, we can find out why. If they have one, no problem. I think the police should do random spot checks too, for example on the street and also on people leaving supermarkets and things like that. I believe that people who say they are a breach of human rights must have something to hide! What are your views?
ID cards. Do you think they will help in the UK?
Good idea , no one should object if they have nothing to hide
Reply:ID cards are good, but since most people already have a driver's id card or a work or school ID card, i don't think we need to make one standard national ID card mandatory.
Reply:In the U.S. everybody has some sort of photo identification. If you are not old enough to drive (or don't drive) you can get a state identification card. Everytime one turns around, someone is asking for identification, whether it is for age verification or driving verification. We can't get into most bars without being 21, can't buy cigarettes unless 21, can't be out after curfew in some cities unless at least 18. So, our country is very big on identification.
However, I do not believe there should random checks as to whether I am carrying identification or not. Does it really matter? I can't see that it does.
Also, it is the same here as far as your address goes. All they do when you apply for identification is ask what is your address. You can make anything up. It is more the birthdate (age) that they are most concerned about. You need identification to prove how old you are before you can get identification but not your address.
Reply:Well, we have ID cards - but it only makes sense if you are at the same time forced to always state your new address. If you move from A to B in my country and you do not state your new address within a certain time period you will have to pay a fee each time you are caught in the act. Random spot checks: jeez - nooo! That is not something that I would want - ever! Here the police do random spot checks but only if you are in your car - trying to find out whether you've been drinking - or whether you have a license, etc.
ID cards are a good thing. Even if you do not have it with you the police can easily check their computer system...
Reply:I think it would help everyone to have an ID card just for safety purposes. Especially if the person was in an accident or something it would just be helpful. Random spot checks are not good though.

ron paul is totally against a national id card
Paul Denounces National ID Card
December 7, 2004
Washington, DC- Congressman Ron Paul today denounced the national ID card provisions contained in the intelligence bill being voted on in the U.S. House of Representatives, while urging his colleagues to reject the bill and its new layers of needless bureaucracy.
“National ID cards are not proper in a free society,” Paul stated. “This is America, not Soviet Russia. The federal government should never be allowed to demand papers from American citizens, and it certainly has no constitutional authority to do so.”
“A national identification card, in whatever form it may take, will allow the federal government to inappropriately monitor the movements and transactions of every American,” Paul continued. “History shows that governments inevitably use such power in harmful ways. The 9-11 commission, whose recommendations underlie this bill, has called for internal screening points where identification will be demanded. Domestic travel restrictions are the hallmark of authoritarian states, not free nations. It is just a matter of time until those who refuse to carry the new licenses will be denied the ability to drive or board an airplane.”
“Nationalizing standards for drivers licenses and birth certificates, and linking them together via a national database, creates a national ID system pure and simple. Proponents of the national ID understand that the public remains wary of the scheme, so they attempt to claim they’re merely creating new standards for existing state IDs. Nonsense! This legislation imposes federal standards in a federal bill, and it creates a federalized ID regardless of whether the ID itself is still stamped with the name of your state.”
“Those who are willing to allow the government to establish a Soviet-style internal passport system because they think it will make us safer are terribly mistaken,” Paul concluded. “Subjecting every citizen to surveillance and screening points actually will make us less safe, not in the least because it will divert resources away from tracking and apprehending terrorists and deploy them against innocent Americans! Every conservative who believes in constitutional restraints on government should reject the authoritarian national ID card and the nonsensical intelligence bill itself.”
Ron Paul Attacks Giuliani's Support Of National ID Card

During an appearance on MSNBC last night, presidential candidate Ron Paul attacked Rudy Giuliani's support of a national ID card, pointing out that its true agenda was not to keep track of illegal aliens, but to force American citizens to carry their papers and have their privacy invaded by the government.

Last Chance to Stop National ID
by Rep. Ron Paul
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a spending bill last week that contains provisions establishing a national ID card, and the Senate is poised to approve the measure in the next few days. This week marks the American public's last chance to convince their senators they don't want to live in a nation that demands papers from its citizens as they go about their lives.
Absent a political miracle in the Senate, within two years every American will need a conforming national ID card to participate in ordinary activities. This REAL ID Act establishes a massive, centrally coordinated database of highly personal information about American citizens: at a minimum their name, date of birth, place of residence, Social Security number, and physical characteristics. The legislation also grants open-ended authority to the Secretary of Homeland Security to require biometric information on IDs in the future. This means your harmless looking driver's license could contain a retina scan, fingerprints, DNA information, or radio frequency technology.
Think this sounds farfetched? Read the REAL ID Act, HR 418, for yourself. Its text is available on the Library of Congress Web site. A careful reading also reveals that states will be required to participate in the "Driver's License Agreement," which was crafted by DMV lobbyists years ago. This agreement creates a massive database of sensitive information on American citizens that can be shared with Canada and Mexico!
Terrorism is the excuse given for virtually every new power grab by the federal government, and the national ID is no exception. But federal agencies have tried to create a national ID for years, long before the 9/11 attacks. In fact, a 1996 bill sought to do exactly what the REAL ID Act does: transform state drivers' licenses into de facto national ID cards. At the time, Congress was flooded with calls by angry constituents, and the bill ultimately died.
Proponents of the REAL ID Act continue to make the preposterous claim that the bill does not establish a national ID card. This is dangerous and insulting nonsense. Let's get the facts straight: The REAL ID Act transforms state motor vehicle departments into agents of the federal government. Nationalizing standards for drivers' licenses and birth certificates in a federal bill creates a national ID system, pure and simple. Having the name of your particular state on the ID is meaningless window dressing.
Federally imposed standards for drivers' licenses and birth certificates make a mockery of federalism and the 10th amendment. While states technically are not forced to accept the federal standards, any refusal to comply would mean their residents could not get a job, receive Social Security, or travel by plane. So rather than imposing a direct mandate on the states, the federal government is blackmailing them into complying with federal dictates.
One overriding point has been forgotten: Criminals don't obey laws! As with gun control, national ID cards will only affect law-abiding citizens. Do we really believe a terrorist bent on murder is going to dutifully obtain a federal ID card? Do we believe that people who openly flout our immigration laws will nonetheless respect our ID requirements? Any ID card can be forged; any federal agency or state DMV is susceptible to corruption. Criminals can and will obtain national ID cards, or operate without them. National ID cards will be used to track the law-abiding masses, not criminals.

Armed resistance against National ID cards?
These things are sick!!! The government will be able to control what you can buy, sell, travel to, what buildings you can enter etc, etc. I'm sorry anyone that wants one of these needs to be executed on the spot regardless if they have a family or not!!!! We all need to visit Holland and Holland of London and buy some serious fire power from these people.
Armed resistance against National ID cards?
First, this is something instituted by the Bush regime, allegedly in response to the threat of terrorists and undocumented (illegal) immigrants. It was passed by the Republican Congress and is now the law of the land.
FYI
The fact that you are openly calling for violence in response to a Bush edict, could find you in violation of the Patriot Act.
Also, intimating about arming to make change to a Bush edict may find you charged as an enemy combatant. You can then be arrested and deported to foreign soil to be held indefinitely. Your right to habeas corpus (be charged with a crime) could be suspended, and your right to trial by jury, your right to a speedy trial, your right to confront your accuser...all can be suspended indefinitely for "national security" reasons.
So...How did you vote?
Reply:Um.....ever hear of VISA, MasterCard, and America Express? How about your little grocery card to get discounts. Gas credit cards? Travelocity, Expedia, Hotels.com etc. Frequent flyer miles. These nation ID cards will not automatically allow you into any building. Security overrides this card. SS card can also track your every move, your calls can be traced from tower to tower. You are already being tracked if you have any of these items.

Will you except the ID card come may 2008?
Plenty of other countrys have ID cards(with a microchip inside)already, but this "ID card" could lead to something more sinister. Fortunately, I know what it will lead to. Everyone must be willing to say "NO" when that time approaches and when that time comes? When that time arrives? I am uncertain.
Will you except the ID card come may 2008?
definitely positively no.
See you in jail
Reply:What in hades are you talking about?
There is no federal government ID card coming out in May, 2008. If you think there is then please give the link to the government site that describes this.
It would need to be announced long before May, 2008. There would need to be a lot of preparation for something like that. People would need time to get them and it cannot happen over night. Too much processing and database work would need to happen. Something like that would take at least a year to implement. So, please give the link to the government website that describes this. Do not give a link to any site but a government site. For it to be official, it will need to be a government site.

There's no 'new' ID card coming out in May 2008.
May 2008 is when the "Real ID" act takes effect. This law sets minimum anti-counterfeit standards for State issued IDs such as drivers licenses. Those standards also include the tech standards for the microchip storage of the info on the card.
There's no info on the chip or magnetic stripe (Real ID allows for either) that isn't also printed on the outside of the card, and the standards for putting the info on it are public, so anyone who wants to can buy - or build - a reader capable of reading the card and checking that.
For most people there'll be no difference. Over half the population lives in States that already have drivers licenses that comply with Real ID. The last ones will have changed over before May. Current drivers licenses don't have to be surrendered until they expire, so it'll be years yet before everyone has a tamper resistant drivers license.
As an aside as to how HUGE a job a "new" ID card would be, the "Transportation Workers Identification Card" is currently in the rollout process. It's a card that shows that people who need access to secure areas in ports, airports, pipeline terminals etc are who they say they are, and have had criminal background checks. From announcement to every facility in the country being fully up and running by the end of next year will have been a 6 year process - and TWIC only impacts about a million people !

Is it true if you have a 30% service connected disability that you are authorized to have an id card?
I've heard from other veterans with service connected disability that they dropped the percentage of 100% to 30% for those veterans to get an id card. If it is true what paperwork do I need to take with me to receive my id card.
Is it true if you have a 30% service connected disability that you are authorized to have an id card?
talk to your VA rep.
Reply:If by ID card you mean an Armed Forces ID card, then Yes. If you are an active duty servicemember and receive a service connected diability you are eligible to placed on the Temporary Duty Retired List (TDRL). Once placed on TDRL you are entitled to all the benefits of a retiree including an ID card (and 75% of base pay). You can only stay on TDRL for 5 years and are evaluated every 18 months. If you're condition improves you can be taken off the retired list or if it stays the same you can be transferred to the Permanent Disability Retired List (PDRL). Once on PDRL you're on it for life and are like any other military retiree (now pay is 50%).
Now this is all if you are currently active duty. If you've already left the service and the rating is coming from the VA, then you're 30% rating simply places you on a higher priority list at the VA as far as medical care goes. It also entitles you to some compensation...but you don;t get any ID card as you've already been separated from the military. The Department of VEteran's Affairs is completely separate from DoD and it is not uncommon for people to leave the military and then go the the VA to get "rated." If you've spent any time in the military, you have probably incurred som injury that the VA will give you credit for and even compensate you. But to maintain a Armed Forces ID card, you actually have to beseparated from the military based on your disability and the diability rating must come from the service itself and not the VA m(although after being discharged you can certainly go to the VA and se f they rate you higher - often the case).

Are there any safety hazards of using visible Photo ID cards at workplaces?
Sure. Why would want to broadcast your LAST name to a bunch of strangers? There could be some loony stalker and strangler taking a fancy to you! I know that most workplace policies and even laws say otherwise, but I think people should be able to display only a first name and a number for identity ... like Jim 2456 or Lisa 9751. Your employer should be protecting your privacy (IMO) and giving your last name to people only on a need to know basis.
