  • UK: General Election debate misses purpose of ID Cards

    Information published by Government Departments since February shows that the database which underpins the ID Card is central to the Government's aim to deliver efficient and effective public services in general. This purpose, which is far wider than the narrow objective of establishing identity in order to access public services, has not been mentioned so far in the current General Election campaign. For example, the Labour Party Manifesto refers to ID Cards in the context of immigration, identity theft, illegal working, fraudulent use of public services and terrorism.

  • ZA: Smart ID card announcement soon

    The smart ID card system is being designed and announcements regarding it will be made over the next few weeks, says the Department of Home Affairs (DHA).

    At a Parliamentary portfolio committee meeting last week, members asked when the smart card would become a reality. The department said announcements will be made soon since the current green ID book is not sufficient to match new technologies and transactions under the IT modernisation project.
