If the goverment want them, then they should be free, but even that i personally will not agree too.

We are in a credit crunch, hardly afford our food shopping, then they think oh we need more money, we shall get it from the little people.

So yes i can see why its okay in other countries for this card, in USA my friend said it just is, and thats it.

Nice to see you Gambatte x
I agree (partly), with what you wrote.

But still, I can't get an answer to my concern: how does one prove identity without id card?
TV licence, gas bill, my Mum name, saying my date of birth cannot prove my identity or address, but banks and other places still think they do. Of course committing fraud is as simple as it actually is.
(true, a badly made id system would make fraud even easier, but then the point is the system must be enough robust, not to avoid it at all.)
