For the over-60s, bus passes can act as ID cards.

And those over 64 (born in the UK before Feb 1952) will already
have Identity cards which they were required to carry with them by
law up to that date.

********. I have no ID card and have never been required to carry one

I am not qualified to comment on the state of your genitalia, but I do
know about the National Registration Act 1939. If you were a british
subject and alive at any time between the end of September 1939 and
February 1952 you would have been required to register and to carry the
identity card that was issued to you until feb 1952. As with Charles,
my identity card was issued a week or so after the registration of my
birth.

Are you certain everyone had to be registered at birth for one?

Not the same as a ration card?

a Ration Card had coupons which had to be cut out and given to the shop
before you could buy rationed items. They only lasted a limited period
before they ran out.

I'm sure that the instructions for Identity Cards will have asked parents
to look after them for children. I don't think small childen were
considered Nazi spies
