Thousands of UK citizens have registered their interest in getting their very own ID card.
According to the Home Office, to date 10,000 people have asked for further information on applying for a card through the DirectGov site.
The first ID cards were issued to foreign nationals living in the UK from last November.
A wider rollout will follow this year, with residents of the Greater Manchester area getting first dibs on applying for a card.
From early next year, the scheme will be extended to cover those living in the wider North West area.
The cards will be rolled out to the rest of the UK on a voluntary basis from 2011/12.
