Home Secretary Alan Johnson has unveiled the final design of the controversial national identity card.The card will be offered to members of the public in the Greater Manchester area from the end of this year. Ministers plan to launch the £30 biometric ID Card nationwide in 2011 or 2012 - but it will not be compulsory. But the government faces increasing opposition over the card with critics saying it breaches privacy as well as being useless and a waste of money. Ministers say the card, which follows the launch of the foreign national ID card, will provide an easy way of safely proving identity. They say this system, backed up by a national identity register, will help combat identity fraud, crime and terrorism.

People in NI who identify themselves as Irish will be issued with a different version of the ID card which the Government is planning to introduce.Home Secretary Alan Johnson has unveiled the final design of the controversial national ID card. The Home Office said the scheme must recognise identity rights as laid out in the Belfast Agreement. That means Irish nationals living in NI will be issued with a "personal ID card" rather than a national ID card. The personal card will not record an individual's nationality and so cannot be used as a travel document. Only the Irish Government can issue an official travel document to Irish citizens. However, cardholders will still be registered on the British ID national database and so will be able to use the card to prove their identity. The Home Office is also going to assure those who hold Irish nationality or dual citizenship living in Britain that they will continue to have the right to apply for an Irish passport even though they are on the UK national identity register.

american 1 is not a joke, place of birth, residence blood type, eye strength, prints, past convivtions, every kina personal info is on that one little card and the fact thats all they need to travel from state to state is a key reason majority of them dont own passportsWe have already had prototypes of these cards before, citizenship cards etcDR Malachi York heeded everyone on this centralisation a good 30 summin years ago

New government wouldn't make a difference to be honest. Just new faces to convince the public there's going to be change when things will more or less be heading in the same direction.
