National identity card launched - November 2009

Benefits of the £30 cards include their use as a simple and universal proof of age and identity. They can also be used to travel around Europe in place of a passport.
The Identity and Passport Service will now accelerate the rollout of ID cards across the UK. Citizens in the North West will be able to apply for a card early next year and there will be full national coverage by 2012.
