Will ID cards help solve any problems in the world today?

What happens if you lose or have your ID card stolen? What will be the cost and how easily will it be to get a replacement? What will you then have to do to prove you are who your say you are?

With all information now stored on computers, who will be able to easily access this information? It will not take long before they will be easily forged.

False passports, driving licenses, birth certificates and credit cards have proved easily obtainable for the criminals already.

Forging ID cards will just present another challenge for them; one they will readily achieve.

We should already have a medical card with our name, address and a number, why not add a photo and use that? Maybe it could include blood type and a fingerprint.

I am sure most people would be only too happy to make this available if needed.

However, with so many identities being stolen already so easily for criminal and fraudulent intent it seems it would not be beyond possibility for someone to be parading as me because they have obtained a fake ID card.

There are many questions on this point but not one true answer.
