identification cards
Proof of identity
Identification cards are documents that verify a person's identity, typically wallet-sized and issued by governments, employers, or institutions.
They usually display a photograph, name, and other identifying information.

Driver's licenses and passports function as identification cards, though specialized IDs exist for students, employees, and members of organizations.
