identification card

An identification card, often referred to as an ID card, is an official document that verifies a person's identity. It typically includes personal information such as the individual's name, photo, date of birth, and sometimes an address. IDs are issued by government authorities and serve various purposes, including facilitating access to services, proving legal age, and enabling secure identification in situations like travel, banking, or job applications. Common examples include driver’s licenses, national ID cards, and passports. They are essential for both personal identification and maintaining security in various sectors.
