Why Carrying a Personal Photo ID Card from The Card Project UK Just Makes Life Easier

Most people don’t realise how often they’re asked to confirm who they are. Whether it’s picking up a parcel, proving you're the named person on a booking, or helping someone remember your name at a group or event—having something simple with your name, face and date of birth can help. That’s where our card comes in.

Our double-sided Photo ID Card gives you a convenient way to show your basic details, backed up with a clear photo. It’s not official ID, but it’s helpful in a lot of everyday situations where you need to identify yourself quickly and clearly.

A Smart-Looking Identity Card That’s Easy to Read

We’ve kept the design of our card clean and simple, so your photo and details stand out straight away. The front features your full name, date of birth, and a high-quality photo.

The rear of our card has a smaller version of your photo again, your name, and a space for you to sign. There’s a magnetic stripe and signature panel which makes it feel more familiar to people who are used to handling other types of cards.

It’s a handy item to keep in your wallet or purse, especially when you're in places where people don’t know you and you're asked for your name or details.

When You Don’t Need a Passport, but Still Need Some form of ID

Our card is not an official form of ID, so you can’t use it to open a bank account or board a plane. But what most people don't realise is that you don’t always need official ID. Often, you just need something to support a name, date of birth, or show you're the person linked to a ticket or booking.

We’ve seen people use our card to support age checks at local shops, collect items from sorting offices, or simply to help staff learn names in new work settings. People even used them in the elections to vote. It’s also popular with people who are part of hobby groups, fitness clubs, or event volunteers.

Having your name, photo and date of birth on one small card saves time explaining yourself. It gives you a quick way to show something instead of pulling out personal paperwork.

Our card is the same size and thickness as a regular credit card—86mm by 54mm. It’s made from biodegradable plastic, which means it holds up well in your pocket, wallet, or bag, but it’s not adding more plastic waste to the world.

It’s a smart option if you just want something straightforward that fits easily into your day-to-day life. No extras. Just your face, your name, your date of birth, and an option to sign it. That’s all you need sometimes.

Our Double-Sided Photo ID Card Is Part of a Larger Range

This listing is for our specific double-sided design shown in the photos. But if you’re after something different, we’ve got a few more options.

We offer other double-sided designs in the same format, each with a different layout or visual feel—but still featuring your name, photo, and date of birth and a signature strip on the back.

We also have a range of single-sided Photo ID Cards that include the same personal details on the front, but have a blank rear. These are perfect for anyone who wants a clean, minimalist card without any extras.

All our Photo ID cards—single or double—are made from biodegradable plastic and are designed and printed by us here at The Card Project UK. If you're looking for something to be delivered quickly then we can help, we aim to dispatch all orders within 24 hours so take a look at our delivery options page for more information. We have lots of options for you, including next day delivery (be sure to read how this works, the next day delivery is guaranteed for the day after your order is dispatched, not the day it is ordered)

Who Might Find Our Photo Identity Card Especially Useful?

People order our card for all sorts of reasons. Some just want to carry proof of name and date of birth without using a passport or driving licence. Others are carers, volunteers, or part-time workers who want something clear and easy to present. We’ve had people use our card when attending support groups or therapy sessions, where remembering names can be difficult for everyone involved.

It’s also useful for older children or teenagers who don’t have official ID yet, but need something to carry with them that shows who they are. Parents often order for them when they're starting new clubs or sports.

Some customers order our card as a backup ID to keep in a bag or coat pocket, separate from their wallet. Others just prefer having something that’s designed for casual, everyday use.

Need a Quick, Clear Way to Prove Who You Are? Order a Photo ID Card That Works for Real Life

The design of our card is built around visibility. We don’t crowd it with extra graphics or small print. Your name is printed in clear type. Your date of birth is easy to spot. Your photo is large and central on both sides. That matters when you're in a rush or when someone only has a second to glance at it.

We print using high-quality digital print on plastic, so your image and text stay sharp. Our cards are not laminated paper or printed on card. They’re long-lasting and professional-looking, but simple enough for everyday use.

So if you’re tired of being asked for ID when you don’t want to hand over your passport, our card is a smart alternative. It’s not about trying to be official—it’s about having something practical.

You know your name. Now you’ve got a way to show it.
