[edit] Countries with compulsory identity cards
According toPrivacy International, as of 1996[update], around 100 countries had compulsory identitycards[1]. They also stated that "virtually nocommon law country has a card"[1].
The term "compulsory" may have different meanings and implications in different countries. Thecompulsory character may apply only after a certain age. Often, a ticket can be given for being foundwithout one's identification document, or in some cases a person may even be detained until the identityis ascertained. In practice, random controls are rare, except inpolice states.

15. Since the beginning of 2005 theeID (electronic IDentity-card) hasbeen issued to Belgian citizens whoapply for a new identity card. Apartfrom being a form of identification,the card also is used forauthentication purposes. Future
usages include using the eID as alibrary card, keycard for restrictedareas or chatrooms and the digitalsigning of documents. It isexpected that in 2009 all Belgianswill have an eID card.[2]. Theidentity cards for Belgians livingabroad are not electronic cards likethose issued in Belgium. They are,however, equally valid and are
accepted and used in the sameway as the electronic identity card.[3].

Cyprus: All Residents aged 12 and up are required to carry an official ID card(http://moi.gov.cy/content.php?subid=180)
Estonia: See id.ee (in Estonian), id.ee (in English)
Greece: In Greece, the biggest change in Identity Documents Law happened in2000, when some fields of the Police Identity Card (as Greeks call it) were rejected.These fields included religion, addresses, biometric characteristics and fingerprint.Oppositely, some fields were added. These are Latin transliterations of name and
surname, blood type and Rhesus of the owner. Under this law, all Greeks over 12years old must go to a police office to ask for an Identity Card. In Greece, there aremany everyday things you cannot do without an ID. In fact, according to an olderlaw, the Police ID is the only legal identity document and no one has a right to askfor more identity documents. Since the 1980s all legal services in Greece must bedone with this ID. Also, you can travel within the EU with a Greek National ID card.Carrying the ID is not compulsory, however during routine police checks, if you arefound without an ID, the police officer may take you to the nearest police station forfurther investigation.
Hong Kong: See main article Hong Kong Identity Card. Identity cards have beenused since 1949, and been compulsory since 1980. Children are required to obtaintheir first identity card at age 11, and must change to an adult identity card at age
18. Hungary: See [4] (in Hungarian) It is compulsory to possess an ID or passport from
the age of 14. A driving license can be also used for identification from the age of17. Private entities however, are legally required to accept passport or driver'slicence for proof, but often do not accept them, only the ID card, thus in effectalmost all citizens have the ID card. Police has the legal power to stop people onstreets at random and ask for ID paper only if they have any proof that the personwas involved in a crime, or is a witness. If the person has no proof for identificationhe/she can be detained for maximum 24 hours. It is a common misconception inHungary that the Police can ask for your ID at any time, but since 1990 this is notthe case.

In the European Union, a national identity card complying to certain standards canbe used by European citizens as a travel document in place of a passport[8] . Anexception is that a Swedish national identity card is not usable when leavingSweden to a non-Schengen country.
In the United States, the Passport card is issed to its citizens upon request. Althoughits main purpose is for land and sea travel within the country, under the REAL IDAct, the passport card will also be accepted for domestic air travel.[9]U.S.Citizenship and Immigration Services has indicated that the U.S. Passport Card maybe used in the Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9 (form) process[10]. Thepassport card is considered a List A document that may be presented by newlyhired employees during the employment eligibility verification process to show work
authorized status. List A documents are those used by employees to prove bothidentity and work authorization when completing the Form I-9. The passport cardcan be used as a valid proof of citizenship and proof of identity both inside andoutside the United States[11]. Most people, however, use state issued driver'slicenses, or state issued (generally by the state's DMV) nondriver's ID cards, asidentity cards.
[edit] France
Main article: French national identity card
The country has had a national ID card since 1940, when it helped theVichy authorities identify 76,000for deportation as part ofthe Holocaust.
In the past, identity cards were compulsory, had to be updated each year in case of change of residenceand were valid for 10 years, and their renewal required paying a fee. In addition to the face photograph,the card included the family name, first names, date and place of birth, and the national identity numberinvented by the national INSEEregistry, and which is also used as the national service registrationnumber, as the Social Security account number for health and retirement benefits.
Later, the laws were changed[citation needed] so that any official and certified document (even if expired andpossibly unusable abroad) with a photograph and a name on it, issued by a public administration orenterprise (such as a railroad transportation card, a student card, a driving licence or apassport) can beused to prove one's identity[citation needed]. Also, law enforcement (police, gendarmerie) can now accept

photocopies of these documents[citation needed] when performing identity checks, provided that the originaldocument is presented within two weeks[citation needed]. For financial transactions, any of these documentsmust be equally accepted as proof of identity[citation needed].
The current identity cards are now issued free of charge, and non-compulsory. Legislation has beenpublished for a proposed compulsory biometric card system, which has been widely criticised, amongothers by the "National commission for computing and liberties" (Commission nationale delinformatique et des liberts,CNIL), the national authority and regulator on computing systems and
databases. Identity cards issued since 2004 include basic biometric information (a digitized fingerprintrecord, a printed digital photograph and a scanned signature) and various anti-fraud systems embeddedwithin the plastic-covered card.
The next generation of the French green card, named "Carte Vitale", for the Social Security benefit(which already includes a chip and a magnetic stripe currently containing very little information) willinclude a digital photograph and other personal medical information in addition to identity elements. Itmay then become a substitute for the National Identity Card.
[edit] Sweden
Main article: Identity documents in Sweden
Sweden has since October 1, 2005 issued national identity cards, but they are not compulsory and only
obtainable bySwedish citizens[12] , mostly intended to use for intra-Schengen area travel.
Having an identity card in Sweden is not mandatory, but it is needed in several situations, e.g. for bankservices or when picking up a package at a post office. Opening a bank account, getting a drivers licenseor other situations requiring one to have a Swedish personal identity numbernecessitates a validSwedish identity document. Commonly people use theirdriver's licenses or certified identification cardsissued by the banks.
From 2008-2009 banks and thepostal servicehave stopped issuing them. Instead the state through thetax authorities has take the responsibility of issuing identity cards for foreign citizens from the secondhalf 2009. These are mostly issued to immigrants, since Swedish citizens prefer getting a passportinstead. The tax authority card and the Swedish passport are nowadays the only ways to get a card, ifone does not have any Swedish identity documents.
The reason for the introduction of the tax authority card was that the process of getting a bank card wastightened around 2005-2007 so that most immigrants could not get a card. The rule was that if you wanta Swedish identity card when you have none, you must have a close family member who has a validSwedish identity card who then vouches for your identity.[13][14].
