Well, Congrats (I'm always the last person to get the news :lol: )

 

I couldn't help noticing that you married on some church, what was it and how does the thing of marriage work?

 

You might consider my question very stupid, for not saying anything else, but I just read that on the U.K you don't have I.D Cards, neither in the U.S.A and that seemed so normal to me (I've had one since age 7 maybe) so I might get a surprise here aswell.

 

THANKS!

all the piccies here

:D

ID Cards???

yes, they are cards like the size of a driving license (at least here) and for example in Chile they have your:

 

Names

2 Lastnames (Father and mother, in that order)

Citizenship

Country of Birth

Place of Birth

Date of Birth

Place where you got your I.D

Wether you are a donant (blood an organs) or not

Sometimes your profession

Your finger print (of the big finger in the card and the others in the computer database)

Your unique identity number

Your passport number

Your picture

 

It's mandatory to have it here and you cannot vote without it, for example, and I could say it's asked everywhere and If I'm not wrong, it seems like our neighbourds also have it and most people in the continent.

yeah , same here.. you get it when you turn 18

ahhh I see, thats a god idea..

 

I think here all depends on the state you live in (US) each state does offer an ID card, but not with all that information...

 

just your name, address, height, etc.. just like a driver's liscense, except you can't drive with just the ID Card...

 

You can specify on your drivers liscense if you are an organ donor as well..

It also has your signature and the date when it was given and when it expires (every 10 years and 5 If you are a child).

 

I'm extredimely amazed at the fact that you haven't got one or that it's voluntary. I had never even wondered why I have to have one, it's just there.

 

Curious fact in Perú, what If you want to travel for example to Chile and you haven't turned 18 yet? (for Perú and Argentina we only travel with our I.D. Cards)

 

We get our I.D. Cards before our passport, so If you want to go abroad, even If you are 5 months old, you must get an I.D. Card first.

even kids have passport , that's all you need..i was in chile when i was 17 and just needed that

Ah, I see! We don't need Passport for Perú, just the I.D Card, but to get a passport we need the I.D. Card first.

 

What does your card have?

its called 'dni' (documento nacional de indentidad)here and it has all the things you mentioned above but its only for 5 years ,after that u have to get a new one and you also use it to vote :P

here's it "Cédula Nacional de Identidad" .

 

is it mandatory to vote there or not?

 

Here it is but only If you inscribe yourself on your district. You must be 18 at the moment of inscription and then you must vote in your district or If you are abroad, in an Embassy. But no one oblieds you to get registered, so most young people do not vote.

nowadays... I think we should have something like that... i might help with all this homeland security crap... but instead.. people just walk around with passports.. lol

 

which reminds me.. I need to get a new one...

yup, the government makes you vote here if you dont you have to pay a fine.

But people older than 60 arent forced to vote if they dont want to but the rest yup ..talking about that, i have to vote next year :stunned:

we will be getting id cards soon :rolleyes: ...and it will cost us £85 for an id card and a passport
