Petition Issue Identity card for all legal residents of the UK that must be carried.

Our forces and emergency services have to carry ID, so why can't we all! The card can simply be linked to your NI number. Police, Immigration, the NHS and other public services can identify someone's eligibility for residency or any public service. It will only hinder those with something to hide.

More details

Why do we need this: Health Tourism of the NHS, fraud in our benefits system, illegal immigration and national security

Assist an already stretched Police Force, assist a stretched NHS and public services.

Immigration services can Identify illegal imigrants quickly and easily.

Use the identity card throughout multiple public services to assist with repetitive administrative functions.

It makes sense!!
