Identity cards

The UK National Identity Card and the Identification Card for EEA nationals ceased to be valid legal documents on 21 January 2011. 
 
The Government began the process of cancelling identity cards by introducing the Identity Documents Bill to Parliament on 26 May 2010. The Bill made provision for the cancellation of the UK National Identity Card, the Identification Card for EEA nationals and the destruction of the National Identity Register. This bill has completed the parliamentary process and the Identity Documents Act 2010 received Royal Assent on 21 December 2010.
 
In line with the terms of the Act, identity cards ceased to be valid legal documents for the purposes of confirming identity, age or for travel in Europe on 21 January 2011.
