The Manx government says it has no intention of introducing identity cards.
The authorities are keeping an eye on developments in the United Kingdom - and will assess the implications for the Island if and when ID cards become compulsory there.

Chief Minister Tony Brown (pictured) says there's not much to fear about carrying a basic ID card - but the devil is in the detail:
Missed opportunity in inmate's care, inquest finds
Seven arrests made as part of King Gaming fraud and money laundering investigation
Motorists urged to avoid Cooil Road following RTC
Probation for man caught with knife at Sea Terminal
Warning after tea towel tumble dryer fire
Calls for Sarah's Law on Isle of Man
