And I'm gonna keep it that way for as long as possible. Want to do the same?
Try renewing your passport. You can renew your passport at any time.
If you renew it now you can stay off the ID cards database until your passport or driving license are up for renewal and avoid the massive extra cost you will most likely have to pay for it.
Please read below & check the links attached. Please tell as many people as you can.
The Liberal Democrat Home Affairs team have applied to renew their passports to prevent their details from being added to the ID cards database.
Once the Government has set up the National Identity Database, everyone who applies for a passport will have to attend an interview and have their fingerprints and irises scanned.
Passports issued now will be valid for 10 years, meaning people will be able to wait until 2016 before they have to register for an ID card.
Commenting, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary, Nick Clegg MP said:
"ID cards will be expensive, intrusive and ineffective.
"I urge everyone who is concerned about their introduction to join the NO2ID 'Renew for Freedom' campaign and renew their passport over the coming weeks.
"The Liberal Democrats were the only party to vote against the introduction of identity cards, and we're making our opposition clear today by buying ourselves 10 years of freedom from this unnecessary scheme."
You can sign the Liberal Democrat petition against ID cards at www.libdems.org.uk/noidcards and see the passport renewal site from the No2ID campaign for how to avoid being on the National Identity Register yourself.
