History
Alien experts from UNIT and other groups wore ID cards which were electrified by Jocrassa Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen. Though the electricity was deadly to humans, the Ninth Doctor, being a Gallifreyan, survived and attached his ID card to a Slitheen, resulting in the pain being shared amongst the family. (TV: Revenge of the Slitheen) Just prior to this, Staff Sergeant Annie Frederick remarked on how quickly Number Ten had created the Ninth Doctor's pass. (PROSE: Operation London)

By the time Martha Jones was training at Royal Hope Hospital in 2008, (TV: Smith and Jones) Martha had an ID card. According to one account, her ID card stated that her Authority was "RH0495" that her Number was 0/39 (PROSE: ID Cards) or, according to another account, that her Authority was "RH0776" and that her Number was 0/75. (PROSE: "A Medical Note")

P.R.O.B.E. operatives carried ID cards: Louise Bayliss showed hers to Brittany Mordley in 2008, (PROSE: Silver-Tongued Liars) and Giles and Archie MacTavish showed theirs to the security guard of the Vault, Donovan, in 2011. (PROSE: A Worthy Successor)
