Talk:List of national identity card policies by country

message: I assume this article concerns national identity cards. All countries need some kind of ID cards for bank transactions etc don't they? It looks strange with a headline like "Countries with no identity cards". Shouldn't we write that it concerns national identity cards ? /BIL 07:03, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Try this link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizen/certificate-info.html . All the info is right there on how to obtain a citizenship card for someone born in Canada.  The card costs $75CDN while a much more useful passport is $97CDN. rasblue 01:44, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Living in Ghana, I can add to the list of countries without a national ID includes Ghana. However, a project to fit all citizens with a card has been undertaken.
Moreover, I know that in both Burkina Faso and Togo, you have national ID cards and you are obliged to always carry it on you. I believe the same is the case for most of the West African countries.

message: There appears to be substantial randomness between the bottom two categories.  Canada appears as a "non-compulsory identity card" country, while the US appears as a "no Identity card" country.  Both countries have very similar rules on this front, wherein the federal government issues permanent resident cards and citizenship cards for naturalized citizens.  Both federal governments also issue cards that may qualify for secondary (non-photo) ID in the form of Social Insurance/Social Security.  I'm not sure which category these should fall under, but they should both be the same.

replies: text: I note an argument above the natural-born citizens can obtain a citizenship card in Canada.  I fail to see how this is different from the US ability to obtain a national passport or NEXUS card if they so desire. - 207.229.13.65 (talk) 19:09, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

message: The article says you are required to carry your ID card in Brazil, but this is not true. (Asking for your ID card is, however, an extremely common abusive practice of police officers, specially against poor or black people.)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.35.27.143 (talk) 02:27, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

message: The article should make a clear distinction between the compulsory carrying of, specifically, an ID card, and the compulsory proof of ID using just any accepted identity document – possibly a passport or driver's licence. Unfortunately, it doesn't. The title suggests that the former is the topic (ID cards), but the actual content of the article is more concerned with the latter (proof of identity). In my opinion it would serve clarity if we move it to the title Proof-of-identity policies by country.  --Lambiam 09:10, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Distinguish between compulsory ID card and compulsory proof of ID 

message: The article currently lists the United States as  a country with a national identity card -- specifically, the passport card.
But the passport card is not a national identity card, as that term is used in the article. International  law scholars and federal government documents clearly indicate that the passport card is merely a U.S. passport in card format:
Card Format Passport; Changes to Passport Fee Schedule, 71 FR 60928 
Digest of United States Practice in International Law 2006 (Oxford University Press)  
I suggest moving the U.S. from the subsection:
"Countries with non-compulsory identity cards"
to
"Countries with no identity cards"

replies: text: How to define "national identity card" ? In my opinion it is an identity card with photo, usable as identity card inside the country, issued by an authority, and which states citizenship. And the US passport card follows these principles. --BIL (talk) 08:19, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

message: In some states identity documents are not cards but passports carrying the same or more information, for example in Russian Federation. Maybe the article should be renamed by replacing the word `card`  with the word `document`.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.92.113.239 (talk) 16:33, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

message: I think the countries in the article should be split into 5 sections:
# Compulsory to possess an ID cards and to be carried on person at all times
# Compulsory to possess an ID card
# Compulsory to possess some form of ID
# Voluntary ID cards available
# No ID cards are available
Currently each country has varying degrees of compulsion, and an explicitly an ID card as such is not compulsory (passport is sufficient).  Drumstick21 (talk) 20:32, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
