ID
Who-you-are card
ID is identification—a document or card proving who you are: Can I see some ID?
To ID someone is to identify them: The witness couldn't ID the suspect.
ID appears in compounds: ID card, photo ID, fake ID.
The verb also means to recognize: I couldn't ID the song from just the intro. (Lowercase id is the Freudian term.)
