National identity card

A national identity card is an official government-issued document that verifies a person's identity and citizenship within a country. It typically contains personal details such as name, date of birth, photograph, and a unique identification number. The card helps streamline access to public services, voting, and travel, and enhances security by providing a reliable means of verifying identity. While it may be optional or mandatory depending on the country, its primary purpose is to confirm identity efficiently and securely for various civic and administrative needs.
