Do you need to bring an ID card to go out?

It is amusing for me to hear that you would bring the passport everywhere

yeah i know, because i didn't have any valid ID. the last ID i had was during college and it was too old now so what i do is bring my passport all the time . sigh. but good thing i got my ID just yesterday, and i can leave my passport now

When I have a travel, I will bring the ID card.

Perhaps you are right.

I haven't seen you for a long time and I am glad to see you back

that is so sweet of you. thank you. i've been busy working abroad and just got home a week ago. now i have time to mylot and to be with my family. i miss them the same way i missed this second home of mine. thanks again i am happy you still remember me.

Of course i remember my 'birdie' friend from Mylot, glad to see you back in action again in here after disappeared for a few months. Hope everything is fine with you, my friend! Wish you have a Happy Mylotting again!

I wonder Postal ID is as well as ID card?

But once I think of the troubles if I lose the ID card, I hesitate to bring it out.

Hello, I'm a newbie in this site. And this is actually the first time that I am putting up a post/comment. I, as well, think that carrying an ID, or anything that has your identification on it is advisable when you go out. We never know if something bad like an accident happens to us. It would be easier for authorities to contact people in case an emergency did happen to us. As for your concern of losing the ID, I had this experience when I left my wallet somewhere and it had my ID on it. I was, of course thinking of the contents of my lost wallet, specifically the cards and the IDs on it. A few days later, as I was going to school, the school guard approached me and handed me the wallet I lost. Someone apparently picked up my wallet and took it back to the school when he saw my school ID. My IDs are still in there as well as the other cards. The money, however are all gone. My point is that if ever you lose your ID, since there are information in there, it is not impossible that the ID be returned to you, though I must say that this kind of situation is rare. We just need to have some faith in humanity.

i think its important to bring ID card when we go out... even though we might think that we can lose it,, but think the advantage,,, if we got accident or anything,, police or people can send we home because the ID card,,, i think like that only,,, coz we dont know what will happen to us..

I'm glad he doesn't need to worry about I.D.

My son also has a ID card, but he needs it to get on the plane only. I don't think anybody will check him

It is very strict

Its not a commonly known law either. Most find out accidently by going out without the ID.

But here bringing the ID card is not because of this reason. I think it is just the security issue from the government.

Whatever reason why wouldn't a person carry ID on him? It is only smart.

That's good that the driver's license can work as well as ID card in your side. Here the policeman is somewhat stupid. They only accept your ID card rather than other certification.

All driver's licenses here now have photos. Since the attack on the twin towers, they are also made in a fashion so as to be harder to counterfeit. When I got my New jersey drivers license after the change, I had to show 4 forms of identification to prove who I was. Now that I live in Pennsylvania, they just passed a law where you need to have a government issued ID to vote. This is supposed to reduce election fraud but it also discriminates against poor people or the elderly who do not have driver's licenses. This seems like a political ploy since more poor people are believed to vote Democrat whereas the current governor is Republican.

Hard to believe, perhaps children also need the ID cards?

I think they don't need because of their age and an exception to the rule of the adults where we adults make many things to confuse us...

It is the opposite here.

well great suppose someone like me who don't have nay ID with him has meet an accident won't it take too long to notify our family members. carrying ID on day to day life would be crazy but if someone is going on a trip or out of station for some work then carrying a Id is always good

You have a thoughtful husband

...eversince I got married *LOL

Yes, when we have a travel, we have to bring the ID card. Otherwise we can't even get on the plane. And it seems today they will also check the ID card when you get on the train. And in Guangzhou lately it is required to bring the ID card no matter where you go. Namely you have to keep it with you with you are outside. The policeman can check you anytime.

Oh,it seems that they do so for security reasons.

I agree with you.

Perhaps those policemen did that on purpose

You are right. This is a bad rule.

Think of it this way, if you lost your ID several time a month or even year, then other people will probably having the same situation across the land, in this scenario, government registration office's accoutnant will have her days laughing all the way to the bank each year and your nation's treasury department will not have any short on fund issue anymore, it can easily rake in another million if not billion for the government if the rule apply to every commoners.

Perhaps it is better to put the ID card in your pocket. So if you lose your wallet, at least you will not lose the ID card.

It is very strict

I am not sure whether the policeman will accept it.

A copy is better than no ID.
