OT If your not required to get one, and not required to carry one with you should you own it, its no more a national identity card than the current passport is (other than in the narrow technical sense that its a card, and the current passport might be considered "not a card"). the existing requirement that legal permanent residents carry their green cards (as Byron York notes, that’s been the law since 1952) I've heard from multiple sources that its the law, but the dates are different from different sources, all throughout the 40s and 50s. The cards would be an especial boon to employers who profess to find it very difficult to confirm the legality of job applicants – and to naturalized citizens with weak English, whose residency rights would otherwise be doubted. Only if the people choose to get them. Or perhaps if almost everyone gets them and checking them becomes a wide spread practice that most consider fully acceptable. If that happens and gradually it does become a legal requirement to carry them, or even just to obtain one, than it is a "national identity card".
