UK ID card tests - details and venues

Sherringford Hovis | 16.07.2004 17:34 | Indymedia | Repression | Social Struggles | World

Contact details of UK ID card testing/experiments.
Use this resource creatively - disruption needed!

Here's the latest from my quest to become part of the test group for the ID card nightmare that is poised to make the seeminly innocuous "Papers, please." as feared a sentence in the UK as it was in wartime Nazi Germany and Stalin's Russia.


Here's what I got yesterday morning: please feel free to use and distribute this information - it's too late for this week's edition of Schnews, sadly.
Nice to see that the private companies cheaply hired to coerce us and beat us down can't even get it right about the possessive apostrophe. Presumably they'll get just as confused between B58/732 Buttle, Archibald, shoe repair operative; and T47/215 Tuttle, Archibald, heating engineer...

Dear Sherringford,

Thank you for expressing an interest in participating in the UK Passport Service biometrics enrolment trial. The UK Passport Service (UKPS), with it's partners Atos Origin and MORI, are conducting a comprehensive survey to test the process that may be used when recording biometrics as part of the procedure of issuing a passport. The trial will simulate the enrolment and verification of facial, iris and fingerprint biometrics.

There has been a very high level of interest in the trial from people throughout Great Britain, and the trial has now commenced in four locations, London, Leicester, Newcastle and Glasgow. In addition, a mobile unit will be visiting these following locations; Peterborough, Sheffield, Middlesborough, Macclesfield, Birmingham, Swansea, Taunton, Torquay and Belfast. In order to ensure your participation at one of the fixed or mobile sites we have set up a manned hotline number (below), which we ask you to call to make an appointment for you to take part in the trial.

HOTLINE NUMBER FOR APPOINTMENTS 0161 601 8088

As a result of taking part in the biometrics enrolment trial you will NOT receive a valid form of identification. You will receive a sample biometric smartcard specific to you but this can not be used to replace your current passport or as proof of your identity. Once the trials have been completed, all of the biometric and personal data collected will be destroyed.

Thank you again for expressing an interest in this exciting and important project. We look forward to making contact soon.


Yours sincerely,


Atos Origin Project Team
