Photo ID Card for Kids Who Dream of Joining the British Army

Lots of kids grow up wanting to join the Army. They like the idea of working as part of a team, wearing uniform, and doing something important. Some are drawn to adventure. Others like rules, order, and structure. You’ll often hear them say they want to be a soldier or an officer when they grow up.

Our card gives them a small way to feel like they’re already on that journey. Whether they’re marching through the park or building a den in the woods, it adds a bit of excitement to their games. It’s got their photo on the front, along with their name, date of birth, and a pretend Army ID number. The design uses camouflage colours and shows the British Army crest. It says "Army Officer in Training" at the top and has a message at the bottom that says "Be The Best!"

It’s credit card sized, made from biodegradable plastic, and printed to a high standard. It’s single-sided, so all the important details are right there on the front.

Army Role Play Photo Card That Adds to the Fun

Our card works well for role play, especially if your child already has a camouflage outfit or enjoys dressing up. It’s often used alongside toy helmets, walkie-talkies, or military-style backpacks. Some children even like to set up obstacle courses in the garden or organise mock missions with friends.

It’s the sort of thing that gives their play more structure. Instead of just pretending to be in the Army, they feel like they’ve got something to prove it. They can show it to others, keep it in a pocket, or use it as part of a made-up scenario. For a lot of kids, having their own photo on a card makes it feel more real.

Perfect for Children Who Want to Be Army Cadets

Some children already have plans to join the Army Cadets when they’re old enough. The Army Cadet Force accepts young people from age 12 and is one of the biggest youth organisations in the UK. Kids who plan to join often like the idea of outdoor activities, teamwork, and learning new skills.

Our card gives them a fun way to start thinking about that. It won’t get them into a cadet unit or give them any special status, but it’s something they can carry around and take pride in. For some children, it might be the first step in thinking seriously about that path.

We personalise each card with your child’s name, date of birth, and photo. The military ID number is made-up, just for fun. The card is single-sided and doesn’t include any official access or approval, but it’s a great keepsake for kids who love military-themed games or dream of serving one day.

Personalised Gift Idea for Army-Mad Kids

If your child is into all things military, our card makes a great gift. It’s an easy win for birthdays, Christmas stockings, or as a surprise during school holidays. It doesn’t cost much but feels personal. Once it arrives, most kids carry it around non-stop for days. Some even keep them in their school bags or pencil cases.

It can also work well for themed birthday parties or events. If your child is having a soldier-themed party, handing out their own card can feel like they’re running the show.

Take a Look at Our Other Kids’ Photo ID Cards

We’ve got loads of other photo ID cards for children who want to play pretend. Whether they want to be a police officer, firefighter, chef, doctor, astronaut, or even a marine biologist, we’ve probably got a card that matches. Each one includes their name and photo, and they’re all made from the same strong, biodegradable plastic. And of course, if your child aspires to driving a tank then they will absolutely need their own driving licence!

Some kids like to collect a few and switch depending on the day. It’s a great way to support imaginative play and give them something a bit more personal than a plastic badge or toy prop.

Toy Credit Cards Are Also Available

If your child enjoys pretend shopping or wants to feel like a grown-up, we also make Toy Credit Cards. These are personalised with their name and a pretend start date, and they come in loads of fun designs. Even better you get to decide what the bank will be called! There are styles with motobikes, cars, football, sweets, skateboards, Lego-style blocks and so many more. They’re the same size and feel as our ID cards, so some children like to have one of each. A Toy Credit Card for play, and an ID card for their made-up job.

They make a great add-on if you’re ordering an Army card, especially if your child enjoys swapping roles and setting up full pretend worlds.
