Putting it this way, If I’m in an accident how can my family be traced.
First would be via mobile phone. Then via the following - Bank and Credit cards. Club membership cards. A next of kin card, Hospital or Health Card, Car insurance documents. Your car registration number plate would narrow the search.
The most valuable one would be your driving license if you drive.
That has your full name and address plus photo.
You see in programs like Motorway Speed type programs it does not take the Police long to find to who a car belongs to, is it insured, MOT valid. Is the driver allowed to drive etc.
The biggest problem is that you are very unlikely to have your health information with you.
So your full details are already out there, but not Health status.
Maybe your driving licence should carry info so that an Ambulance Crew can access health details to help them say blood type and main health problems.
They can get to the information but it takes time and every second saved by good info. could save a life.
Full Information an ID only accessible by Police and health staff and they have to go through a secure system.
