Abstract An identity card for information is provided by the imprint of security figures on the card or the exposure of features in the data carrier insert. The data carrier may be a photographic silver halide layer of a recording material. In addition to the photograph and data about the owner there is provided a film covering the information carrier with externally applied imprints. The shapes of these external imprints are identical to the security features on the insert and are positioned exactly above said features.
