Big fines if ID card obsolete

WOMEN who change their names after marriage could face fines of up to £1,000 if they fail to tell the government, it was revealed yesterday.

Anyone holding a biometric passport or ID card will be required to notify the National Identity Register of changes to personal data.

Draft legislation published yesterday sets out the fines payable by anyone who fails to comply. The Home Office also revealed the 30 fixed fee for the cost of the card is set only until 2010.
