Talossan ID Cards
Zooks! Talossan ID cards are ready and available for all interested citizens! They're high-quality vinyl cards that look slick and will serve for all Talossan purposes. They conform to all international ID standards set by the ICAO, and they're machine-readable. Show your card at any participating business for a discount on goods or services!*
(https://i.imgur.com/fp0lp5o.png) (https://i.imgur.com/x5JNr1a.png)
In order to obtain your card, you must first pass a test on Talossan government, history, and culture. All questions are easily answered by looking through the wiki (https://wiki.talossa.com/Main_Page), which you should feel free to use as you take the test. You will need to provide a photo and a scanned picture of your signature. If you pass the test with
75% or higher, then you are eligible to apply for a
free ID card!
Photo and Signature RequirementsThe photo submitted for your ID Card should have a 2:3 ratio of width to height. The image should be in front of a neutral background, and you should be facing the camera. Please see the sample card above for an appropriate example. If you submit a photo which does not meet these requirements, your application will be rejected until you provide an appropriate signature image.
Your signature image should be a clear photo of your Talossan signature on a white background. If you submit a signature which is written on colored paper or with shadows on it, your application will be rejected until you provide an appropriate signature image.
The Test and ApplicationA link to the required Civics Test is here (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfi2h6bGFI7l7JugZw86Vzh-9_hEujVx_4jBj2-AI7Tf_dJow/viewform?usp=sf_link). There is no limit to the number of times you may attempt the quiz; a passing grade is 75%. You only need to pass the quiz once.
Your information will be kept private during this process, in concord with our nation's strict privacy laws. It may take some time for you to receive your card, since they are printed in batches and there may be slight shipping delays. Estetz patzint - please be patient!
* Malfortunadamint, there are no participating businesses.
If you already passed the test and were just waiting to get a card, please just let me know so I can send you the application form again without needing to go through the test.
When you get time, please forward me the application as I took and passed the test some time back.
Thank you!

Thank you!
Done! Thank you for being a guinea pig for the new system!
Fun fact: this was the design back in 2016, when we first issued cards. I don't remember who made the design, but boy is it different!

Actually that reminds me that Sir Cresti advised us to put that warning on the back -- better add that back in.

Same!
Done!
@Sir Txec dal Nordselvă, UrB , can you sticky this and unsticky the other one, please?
Sure. Done.
Can I just say that I am surprised and delighted that the new Government has not abolished the Civics Test like they said they were going to. Not that it matters, but I'm wondering why the change of heart?

Hm. I am a deputy leader of the party, and I am not aware of such a promise. Could you show me where that was said?
Anyway.
The first applications have come through, and once we hit a minimum number, we'll send them off to the printer's. It's cheaper per card to do ten at a time, so if you haven't yet done so, take the (easy) test (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfi2h6bGFI7l7JugZw86Vzh-9_hEujVx_4jBj2-AI7Tf_dJow/viewform?usp=sf_link) and apply for a card!
Please forward me the application as I passed the test some time back (sometime around the election season).
Thank you!
I guess that takes the count to three...
Done! A few other people are in the process -- I think we'll have seven applicants in the first batch? Would be good to get an even ten, to save money, but that's okay.
Hello I've attended the civics test and i passed also i finished filling out the form so is there anything else that I need to do my email id is naseerahamed0506@gmail.com
Test passed and submission sent ! Excited to receive my new ID and try it at the customs
Just FYI to all: we're almost at ten responses, which is going to be the size of the first batch. There might be another batch sent out this term, but that's uncertain -- if you were thinking about getting an ID card, now is the time!
When can we expect to receive our ID cards? Ever?

No, it is no more rude than you suggesting "ever?" as an appropriate inquiry for receipt of the ID cards. My point was to be weary of glass houses when complaining, Mr. Secretary.
If we need to drop the Skills Initiative to get the Census going then that might be the way forward or consider a different option for distribution entirely. But not doing it is unacceptable.

So your strategy is if you think someone is being rude, let's also be rude? Gotcha. I wasn't being intentionally rude, and I apologize for using the word ever. I'm just as annoyed at your government as the previous government over this issue but it was beneath me nevertheless.
As for the census, I would love to implement it. I literally have no way of manually beginning it, as I explained previously. It was my understanding from early in my time as Secretary of State that it was automatic as a census occurred without my input right after I took over. I believe now I was wrong and it must be triggered. I'm sorry that it has not happened. This is something I personally do not control.

The first batch were poorly-printed, and so I reordered them from a different vendor. I hope to get them out to everyone at the start of next month.
I submitted my info almost a year ago now. Still no ID....
Quote from: Danihel Forestal on July 22, 2023, 01:03:23 PMI submitted my info almost a year ago now. Still no ID....
As I understand it, that issue of cards never actually got done, so we rolled you into the next issue.
The current issue closed out when it seemed like we weren't going to get any more applicants, about halfway through June. If you look earlier in the thread, you can see me doing last call in the last couple of days of May. I processed them and sent them to the printer, but the first issue didn't look good when I got them back about two weeks ago. I have selected a different vendor and sent them out again. We expect you should have your ID in your hands by the end of August.
Thank you, Baron. I am almost certain that I'll be moving before then, though I don't have a solid address yet. Can I ask that mine not be mailed out until I have that nailed down?
I probably applied for my initial card as soon as they were available. (You know me, I instantly jump on anything free.) Mic'haglh Autofil sent me a nice letter with my card. The letter was dated July 26, 2022. So it's not quite been a full year since this service was available. (I lost the card and have applied for my second one...yeah, I lost my ID card weeks after I got it, but still have Autofil's letter that accompanied it...)

So the batch that was never sent out was a few months ago but before the severely delayed transferral of the files from Autofil.
Baron, thanks for being on top of this.

For sure.
As a new prospective citizen, is it best to wait until I become a citizen to apply for a card?
Thank you

Sorry I missed this -- yes, only current citizens are eligible.
The new cards are here, and they look great! I'm sending them off to recipients this week, so keep an eye on your mailbox next week!
Fingers crossed mine is in that batch!
It is, yes. It took me a while to get yours finalized to send to the printers, though, because every time I try to edit your photo into the SVG, it gave me an "ERROR: PICTURE TOO BEAUTIFUL."
Great!
Received mine today!
Quote from: Iason Taiwos on September 26, 2023, 02:10:50 PMReceived mine today!
Yay! I'm pretty proud of them. I figure one issue per term is plenty.
Received my ID card today. Very nice quality
Received mine today by overseas mail ! Longing for my next police ID check

I posted elsewhere I believe, but I received my card last week.
Quote from: Lord Ardmore on January 11, 2024, 12:50:37 PMWow, these look fantastic. I just need to undertake the test, pass, and then remit my passport picture via the secured email to qualify for the id card. I will definitely be doing this later this week, and very impressive designs, and would they be able to be posted to my address here in Hong Kong too thanks you?
I believe you also must be a citizen of Talossa to qualify for one.

I want a card as well but I'll have to study for the test.
The link to the test is in the initial post. It is automated, and doesn't require my permission. If you get 75% or more, you may fill out the application for a card found at the end of the test. Cards will be processed according to a strict "when I get a chance" basis (or ideally sooner, if the Seneschal has someone else do it).
I'm still a "Prospective Citizen" but took the quiz and submitted the form.

@Baron Alexandreu Davinescu I apologise for the mention, but are there any cards being processed? I really want to have some sort of ID (excluding my student ID) to put in my wallet.
Like me,I applied for mine for sometime now, no news yet. I just hope it gets processed some time soon.
Currently, there are only three applications. I have no plans to run a new batch until there are a bare minimum of five. As soon as that happens, I will make a public announcement.

When you get time, please forward me the application as I took and passed the test last week, even before becoming a citizen.
Thank you!
If you look at the end of the form, there's a link right to the application. It should be included in the email that was sent to you when you finished the test. If you can't find it, please let me know.

:D I'd be glad if you help me send it to me sooner. Like very grateful. 😂
Relax folks, your ID cards will come. Imagine a time when citizens would go for YEARS without an ID card. Some of you've been citizens for a very short time, and the Baron has had some serious family issues recently. Nothing happens overnight in Talossa as it is a purely volunteer-based nation.

I haven't applied yet, I don't know where to file one.

ID cards might not happen overnight but some stuff does.
Yes, because the stuff that happens overnight is the kind of stuff that you can do with a few clicks on a mouse. ID cards are real, hard, Talossanity, that needs to be organised with printers etc.
The Civics Test I set up is here (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfi2h6bGFI7l7JugZw86Vzh-9_hEujVx_4jBj2-AI7Tf_dJow/viewform?usp=sf_link). If you take the Civics Test, you will receive a link at the end directing you to the ID Card form.
Right now, I see six applications since the last time I issued cards. When I get a chance, I will get started on the process. I completely understand that people are eager, and it's great! But please be patient. I will keep everyone updated on the timeframe, but here's my current plan:
- Validate all tests. I have to check to make sure everyone got the required score and that they're all current citizens. This will take very little time, and I will do that tonight.
- Validate info. I have to make sure that I have all required information. Technically I could just reject applications that were not following directions, but I usually reach out in private to fix the application, instead. Last time, a third of all applications needed fixing.
- Process the cards. Most of this is automated, but the profile and signature images need to be done manually. This usually only takes me five to ten minutes apiece.
- Printing. This takes up to two weeks, although it might be less time since it's already been set once.
- Mailing. Fairly variable, but I'm in the continental United States, so you can do your own reckoning
I'll be getting started tonight -- my apologies to anyone who had to wait.
Side note:
If you want an ID card in the next batch, you are almost out of time to apply.
I had already passed the Civics Test once, but I can't find the link for applying for a card. What should I do?

No it's okay, you do you

@Baron Alexandreu Davinescu I have sent you my details via PM. Does that count?
Yes, you're good. I probably should have added you to the official list, but I have a note in my file to remind me about you from when we last talked.
The only problem application right now is Txec's, since I'm sure there's some law about me issuing multiple IDs so quickly, especially when his explicit purpose is "to commit crimes and stuff." Also these pictures he sent in are wildly inappropriate.

Which Txec are you talking about? It certainly isn't me!
I understand. 😉
Quick update: out of fourteen applicants, seven have been verified as actual citizens passing the test with at least the minimum 70%. Others either failed to ever take the test, failed to pass the test, or failed at being citizens (the worst failure of all).
I have also checked all the verified applications at this time, and even though some of these things are "signatures" in only the most technical sense, most people had everything in order. Those people who were missing things have been individually contacted. I will wait a maximum of three days before proceeding, unless those involved wish to pay my bribe. (And I'm a member of the landed nobility, so that's a steep price.)
Probably we'll go to the printer's by the week's end, since I feel guilty for not attending to this earlier.
EDIT: If you want to know if your application is all set, shoot me a PM. It's illegal to even disclose that you applied (since it's personal information held by the government) but I can confirm to you.
@Baron Alexandreu Davinescu, when would ID cars approx. arrive via overseas shipping, e.g. Germany, where I live?
I do not know how long it usually takes mail to travel from the continental United States to Germany. I always use the cheapest postage, though, so I would imagine it would take a couple of weeks maybe?
If I recall correctly, Miestra got hers in about two weeks from date of mailing, and that's a significantly longer trip than Germany.

Let's hope DHL doesn't ship it because when my card arrives while I'm at school, they'll just leave a note telling to pick it up at a designated postal office.

1) Why is that an issue? I've had that happen to me a bunch of times and it's not that big a deal.
2) If the package is flat enough to fit through a mailbox slot (as I expect it will be), chances are they will just put it in your mailbox. That's what happened to me when I ordered playing cards online.

I'm not a big fan of DHL anyway
Just an update: still waiting on the cards to return from the printer. When they ship, I'll post an update.

No. I'm still waiting on the cards. There is nothing I can do to speed things up. We do not pay a premium for fast processing, since I just want to keep the price as low as possible. As soon as I get them, I'll post an update.
