I'm actual in Favour of an ID scheme it seems I might be in the minority on here. Sadly I have no faith in the ability of this Government or future governments bringing the scheme live without major faults/holes & on budget. But I did have to laugh at NO2ID site and there claim a massive 50 categorise to be on the NIR(register) as far as I can see the government has all this info currently on me anyway except the Bio data link my physical persona with my paper persona Info to be on NIR as a British national would (1)Name, (2)DOB, (3)Place of birth, (4)Gender, (5)Address, (6)Bio Info, (7)Nationality, (8)Passport Number, (9)Driving licence number. Not sure where they got the 50 categorise from?? other info would be historical on card issuing losses & changes to NIR database or supporting evidence on work permits if not a British national. The above is read from Schedule 1 of the Act of parliament that NO2ID site links to
