Child’s Wartime ID Card
£3.50
Replica identity card for those under sixteen, as issued under the National Registration Act. Perfect for wartime LARP kits and educational display.
This faithful reproduction of a wartime National Registration Identity Card for individuals under sixteen years of age is a vital inclusion for any depiction of life on the Home Front during the Second World War. Issued under the National Registration Act of 1939, this type of card was mandatory for all young people residing in Britain and was to be carried at all times, forming part of the government’s broader civil administration efforts during the war.
The design mirrors the original in both appearance and proportion, featuring the classic government-issue cream toned stock, black printed border, and royal coat of arms. The words National Registration Identity Card are printed prominently on the front, along with the specification Under Sixteen Years, indicating its special status among the various forms of identification issued during the period. The interior contains space for the name, address, and registration number of the holder, along with instructions for proper completion and use.
Identity cards of this nature were a constant feature of civilian life throughout the war years and into the postwar period. For children, the card often accompanied them on evacuation journeys, served as a record of school enrolment, and was used by local authorities when ration books or travel documents were issued. It is an emblem of Britain’s wartime bureaucracy and a poignant reminder of how deeply the conflict reached into the domestic sphere.
This replica is particularly well suited for school kits, LARP character packs, evacuation suitcase displays, or museum exhibitions exploring the structure of civilian control and identity documentation. It pairs seamlessly with our other Home Front replicas, including ration books, evacuation tags, and registration forms, allowing for a complete and historically accurate representation of wartime administration.

Our use of them is solely to provide faithful historical or aesthetic representation, not to mislead customers or imply endorsement, affiliation, or authenticity of origin.
UK Copyright & Fair Dealing
The UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 provides limited “fair dealing” exceptions under which copyrighted works may be reproduced without permission in certain circumstances (for example, criticism, review, research, private study, or reporting of current events). See Section 29 & Section 30, CDPA 1988. Those exceptions are restrictive and must satisfy that the copying is “fair” in each case. See also UK government guidance on permitted exceptions / fair dealing.
Additionally, since 2014, the CDPA was updated to explicitly allow reproduction for the purposes of parody, caricature or pastiche under fair dealing. See Section 30(1) CDPA 1988 which states that “fair dealing with a work for the purposes of caricature, parody or pastiche does not infringe copyright.”
UK Trade Marks & Passing Off
The Trade Marks Act 1994 grants registered trademark owners exclusive rights to use their marks in relation to particular goods or services. Use of identical or similar marks in trade for related goods may constitute infringement if there is a likelihood of confusion or association with the original brand. See Section 10, Trade Marks Act 1994 and Section 5, TMA 1994.
Where a mark is not registered, the common law tort of passing off may still provide protection. A claims under passing off require showing (1) goodwill or reputation in the mark, (2) misrepresentation by the defendant, and (3) damage to the claimant. See an overview of passing off principles at Forbes Solicitors – Passing Off Claims and UK Trade Mark Litigation Guide (passing off section).
