national ID card
Citizen identity document
A national ID card is a government-issued identification document that verifies a person's identity and citizenship.
Many countries require citizens to carry one; the United States has no such requirement, though driver's licenses and passports serve similar functions.
National ID proposals often spark debates about privacy, surveillance, and government overreach: Critics argue a national ID card would create a tracking system for ordinary citizens.
