Identity Document

Identity document

An identity document is a document proving a person's identity. If the identity document is a plastic card it is called an identity card. When the identity document incorporates a photographic portrait, it is called a photo ID. In some countries, identity documents may be compulsory to have or carry. The identity document is used to connect a person to information about the person, often in a database. The connection between the identity document and database is based on personal information present on the document, such as the bearer's full name, birth date, address, an identification number, card number, gender, citizenship and more. A unique national identification number is the most secure way, but some countries lack such numbers or do not show them on identity documents. In the absence of an explicit identity document, other documents such as driver's license may be accepted in many countries for identity verification.
