Identification cards

ISO 7810 specifies three formats for identification cards:

    * ID-1 = 85.60 � 53.98 mm (= 3.370 � 2.125 in)
    * ID-2 = 105 � 74 mm (= A7)
* ID-3 = 125 � 88 mm (= B7)

ID-1 is the common format for banking cards (0.76 mm thick) and is also
widely used for business cards and driver's licences. Some people prefer
A8 (74 � 52 mm) for business cards. The standard passport format is B7
(= ID-3), the German ID card has A7 (= ID-2) format and the European
Union driver's licence is an ID-1 card.
