an official announcement from the Ministry of STUFF

Talossan ID cards, based on the designs below, are now available for all citizens who can pass a 20-question Civics Test on Talossan history, culture and other law. All the answers to this question can be found no more than 1 click away from the front page of TalossaWiki.




To take the Civics Test:

Here's how it works:
1) volunteers send to the Minister of STUFF (i.e. me) an email address by PM (or via Facebook if you know me there);
2) I "enrol" you on the quizglobal.com website;
3) you go to quizglobal.com, log in, and you should be taken right to the test.

Once you pass the test (defined as 16/20 correct answers), the Deputy Minister of STUFF will contact you to get all the details needed to print your ID card.

Until we are able to actually get the files for ID cards, we aren't able to issue any more.  @Sir Txec dal Nordselvă, UrB , please unsticky this for the time being.

I've sent so many messages... I just gave up and made new templates.  I basically copied the layout here, although there's some tweaks (such as sans-serif fonts).  We're working on finalizing this now, and then we'll be able to get these back in production for everyone.

We're also taking steps to be sure that this sort of thing doesn't happen again in the future -- announcements to come on that soon.

I never received my ID card after finishing the civics test quite a long time ago. I'd be excited if I could finally get one!

@stymphalides It looks like we will soon be able to get you your card. The Distain and MinSTUFF have went ahead and created new templates.

MinTech is currently working on making sure the design conforms to ICAO standards and implementing the machine readable zone on the back.  We might even be able to automate the process of producing these, with a simple form spitting out a finished version -- although that would just be for fun, since making these will be very easy now.  We just copied the previous design, tweaking it a little as necessary.

Classy look, congrats ! Would it help to include a QR code linked to citizen profile, in order to check citizenship validity ?

We mostly just kept the same overall design, which was great.  We'd have preferred to have just used the exact same design as the last government, but unfortunately we have been unable to get those files despite months of trying.  The situation is understandable, but frustrating to have to redo most of the work again.

I don't know where the QR code would point right now, since it's not a legal requirement to be on Witt (and we have many citizens who are not).

"Citizen number" is just a thing on the database; you're not actually assigned any kind of number by the government.  I am not really opposed to the idea, but there's no plan to implement that at this time separately from the ID number.  Still working on plans for what that will consist of.

Okay, a system is all set.  Would anyone from the previous government happen to know the numbering scheme used for the ID card numbers?

We are going to (I believe, pending the Seneschal's decision) going to be using province/current year/citizen number/issue number as the number on the cards -- so you're getting your wish! :)
