Post offices, pharmacists, supermarkets, high street chemists, local authorities and universities have expressed an interest in taking the fingerprints and photos of applicants for ID cards.
Businesses which become enrolment partners of the Identity and Passport Service will be able to charge applicants a fee of between £10 and £25, in addition to the £30 flat charge for an ID card. The fee will allow them to recoup their investment in ID card technology – and make a profit.

"I have your shit! In *my* possession, right now, are 8,257,378 patient records and a total of 35,548,087 prescriptions. Also, I made an encrypted backup and deleted the original. Unfortunately for Virginia, their backups seem to have gone missing, too. Uhoh :(For $10 million, I will gladly send along the password."
NO2ID Manchester have got a stall in St Anne’s Square later today, if you're local.
