Foreign nationals are now able to apply for UK identity cards. Their facial image and fingerprints will be taken to securely lock them to one identity and to help businesses crack down on illegal working. According to the Home Office, ID cards for foreign nationals will help secure the UK's borders by improving immigration control and reduce identity abuses. They will also enable those here legally to prove it and prevent those here illegally from benefiting from the privileges of life in the UK. Enrolment identity card centres for foreign nationals will open in Cardiff, Glasgow, Northern Ireland, Sheffield, Solihull and Liverpool.
