A "identity card" is an official document issued by a government that confirms a person's identity. The identity card typically contains information such as the holder's name, a photograph, date of birth, gender, address, and, if applicable, nationality. Some identity cards may also include fingerprints or other biometric data.
 
The identity card serves as proof of identification within the country and is often required for various purposes, such as signing contracts, opening bank accounts, voting in elections, and handling other government-related matters. It also serves as an essential proof of citizenship and is often carried by citizens in their everyday lives. In many countries, possessing an identity card is mandatory and legally required."
