Identity Theft Check

All British ID cards will be produced in the same way to a standard template. They will be the size of a credit card and will have a photo ID on them, along with name and date of birth for quick identification.

Also like most credit cards, the British ID cards will contain a chip that will store basic Person-Identity Information along with your biometric data.  Hence, even though the cards will be produced to a common template and format but, the information it holds will make the card unique to each individual.

The information on the ID cards will also be available through the National Identity Register (NIR), and each card with have its own unique Identity Registration Number (IRN) printed across the card and a Personal Identification Number (PIN), which the owner can set and use just as they would for a credit or debit card.

All cards will be sent out by secure delivery
