Emergency ID and details

Post by Briggs 2.0 »

This might be of interest to some so I thought I'd post it.

I keep in the clear outer section of my wallet a business card that contains my ID and emergency details which I've then laminated.

I can't post a photo for obvious reasons but on there is the info the emergency services may need to know, such as I'm not allergic to any drugs and what my blood group is and what my donor number is. I have two next of kin numbers, vehicle insurance details, DVLA number and SGC number.

Overall cost is next to nothing to make but the info could be a life-saver if you're caught up in an accident.

I do a similar thing for Mrs B. She also has reference cards with alternate routes home and our preset two way radio frequencies.

Brilliant. And simple. The best ideas are. Thankyou.
In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

Excellent idea, I do not carry much in the way of cards and I do like the idea of having one for all. There is a card printing service I use that will do one-off plastic ID cards, might use them to make some up for the family. :geek:
