I only recently learned that English word for "Passport" refers to the document needed for travelling - and yeah, ours also have a plastic card like this. But weirdly, the actual internal ID which is used a lot more just has a laminated paper page in this place.

Before they made the ID a plastic card we also used to have a laminated piece of paper as ID. I agree, it's not very convenient!
