Talk:Czech national identity card

Untrue

It is illegal not to carry one if one is over 15 and permanently living in the Czech Republic, although in practice this is rarely enforced.

That's not true. It's illegal not to have national id-card, but it's perfectly legal not to carry it (bill 328/1999 Sb.). More info (in Czech).

Občanský průkaz

Is there really no English name? What about simply going to "Czech identity card"? The Dominator^Talk_Edits 20:23, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Title of the article

A booklet version of the Czech identity document.

This article should be renamed to match common naming conventions, and to be in English, as has been suggested in the previous section.

Models:

• Estonian ID card
• Polish National Identity Card
• Identity documents in Sweden
• British national identity card

I tend to opt for "Czech national identity card", modeled on the title of the article about the British one. A downside to this title is that, although now a card, the Czech identity document used to be a booklet. An alternative: "Czech national identity document". A further consideration is that "Občanský průkaz" refers to the identity documents not only of the current Czech Republic but also of the former Czechoslovakia.

I will move (rename) the article. Its title can be further improved later. --Dan Polansky (talk) 06:46, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
