Identity Cards

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what range of services (a) non-EU nationals and (b) UK residents will be able only to access by carrying their identity card with them.
Answer

Producing an identity card is likely to be the most convenient method of proving identity when accessing any public or private sector services. However, unless and until the specific requirements in section 16 of the Identity Cards Act are met, it will continue to be possible for individuals to use reasonable alternative methods of establishing their identity.
