Public Urged to Renew Passports Early to Escape ID Card Charges

Devon and Cornwall's Liberal Democrat MPs have added their voices to the growing NO2ID campaign which encourages people to renew their passports to avoid having personal details recorded from 2008. The Identity Cards Act was introduced earlier this year and means that everyone who applies for a passport will have to have details such as fingerprints and iris scans taken and stored on the National Identity Database. But by renewing passports now, before the database is set up, details can be kept off it until 2016.
