The standard width for most ID cards is 3.375 inches.
ID cards typically adhere to the CR80 standard, which defines the dimensions for the most common and popular ID card size. These cards are designed to be compact and universally compatible with various card readers, wallets, and holders. The CR80 standard dimensions are also the same as those of a standard credit card, ensuring wide usability and familiarity.
For clarity, here's a breakdown of the standard ID card dimensions:
| Card Type | Width (Inches) | Height (Inches) |
|---|---|---|
| Standard ID | 3.375" | 2.125" |
| (CR80) |
This standardized size ensures that ID cards are convenient to carry and can be easily processed in systems designed for card-based identification.
