Declaring an interest
[edit]For clarity's sake, my comment about checking the NPOV of my edits to this article is because I must declare an interest, as a campaigner against the current ID card proposals of the British government. — OwenBlacker 13:01, Jun 26, 2004 (UTC)
this page reads like a self-conscious blog
[edit]some pov editing is needed: the page is like a two headed man trying to get up the nerve to whup himself
This article is incorrect, it is compulsory in Canada to have ID card on your person. if u are caught by the cops without ID you can be charged for failure to provide ID or something like that.
Countries with non-compulsory cards
[edit]Just a few references:
Austria: http://www.help.gv.at/Content.Node/3/Seite.030900.html Canada: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pub/transporters/Appendix2-2.html Netherlands: http://www.bprbzk.nl/echtheidskenmerken/kenmerken_1997_2001/2001/gb/nlreisdocumenten/indexID.htm
Sounds like BS
[edit]- law enforcers can discover people who suffer from dissociative identity disorder (e.g. Billy Milligan) when they found people claim their names which is not consistent with the name on their identity cards.
removing. if you wnt to put it back you might reference it first and explain why a policeman who checks ID would want to know this
Non-governmental ID
[edit]It also lacks any discussion on non-govermental ID cards, such as ones used by companies and others.-- atuomi 10:10 30.9.2006 (GMT+2)
DNA is an identity card ?
[edit]It depends how much you spend on the testing. Standard DNA profiling tests don't look at the whole DNA, but pick out 13 "loci" which characterise people. Each locus is common to about 10% of the population with little overlap. This means that if you test all 13 loci, the chances of being wrong are pretty small but this is expensive (although costs are plummeting). A typical test might only cover 3 loci in which case there is a 1/1000 chance of being wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.91.254.74 (talk • contribs) 25 July 2007 UTC (UTC)
Why is an Identity Document on say "o identify a person"?
[edit]Could a o identify Document not also identity "things"?
- automobile registration
- Gun Registration
- Drone Registration
- Auto Title
- etc.

How does an Identity Document Prove Something?
[edit]How does an identity document prove something? Isn't it just a document and as long as you have it obtained by whatever means just a document?
Trying to find out what what is an identity, seems very difficult. Do you have any id? (assuming identity document - so it can be any random information?) Can I see your passport? (is it mine? or is it the property of the government as it states in the first page?), Can you verify your id? (no, i can only give you the information you need to match in your system - is it my id anyway? or is it your id information that you use to identify me?)...
More information is needed to clarify without ambiguity what is identified, how it proves, who's identify is it (the owner vs who it is trying to identify) etc... -- zhulien 23:53 21 September 2021 (GMT+10)
Do we need each country listed?
[edit]I don't think it's necessary to have a description for each country. There is already an article List of national identity cards by country, which duplicates information on this page. Drumstick21 (talk) 01:37, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
