Introduction
An identity document is any document which may be used to verify aspects of a person’s
personality. If issued in the form of a small, mostly standard-sized card, it is usually called an identity
card (IC). Countries which do not have formal identity documents may require informal documents.
In the absence of formal identity document, driving licenses can be used in many countries as a
method of proof of identity, although some countries do not accept driving licenses for identification,
often because in those countries they do not expire as documents and can be old easily forged.
Most countries accepts passports as a form of identification.
Most countries have the rule that foreign citizens need to have their passport or occasionally a
national identity card from their country, available at anytime if they do not have residence permit in
the country. A student identification card can only be issued to genuine bonafide students. Card
holders can use the card to identify themselves as a student around the campus or outside the
campus. The identity card is managed and administered by the (Student Identity Card Association
(SICA) of the school.
1.1 Theoretical Background
Today, it is believed that the application of computer technology in any activity would go a long way
in making that activity much easier. To the research, this statement remains a theory until proven
otherwise by the implementation of a computerized student ID-card processing system. It is also
believed that benefits and advantage of using computers outweighs that of manual methods.
This also wants to be proven beyond doubts by the researcher through the implementation of the
new system.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
The major problems that gave rise to this research project is faced by Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic
and they include late registration of student’s, corrupt students that know diverse ways of producing
fake identity cards, corrupt and tactical student’s who have a way of sneaking into the examination
hall with fake identity cards.
1.3 Aim and Objectives of the Study
The aim of the study is to design and implement workable computerized system for student’s identity
cards.
The objectives of the study are as follows:

1. To establish efficient means of tracking students with fake ID-Card.

2. To reduce examination malpractice in Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic, at least in the area of
impersonation
 3. To create a reliable database of students in Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic, with unique
features like passport photographs and registration numbers.
4. For research purpose (project writing defense).

1.4 Significance of the Study

This research work would be unnecessary if it has no significance to humanity.
Firstly, the newly designed system would make other-higher institutions to see the need for
creating a computerized student ID-card processing system to use in production of student ID-card.
Secondly, the knowledge that the new system has designed would make students and
invigilators contemplating on impersonation and have a change of mind for fear of being caught.
Thirdly, the designed of the system would provide jobs for system analysts and programmers
contacted to build the system for other institutions.
Fourthly, student identity card is used to check out books from the library, register to vote on
student union matters, and get student discount.
Finally, the research projects would serve as reference material to other scholars interested to
further research on the topic.
1.5 Scope of the Study
This research work restricted to implementation of computerized student ID-card processing system;
using Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic as a case study. Data used for the study were gathered from this
source.
LITERATURE VIEW

ID Card
An identity document (also called a piece of identification or
ID, or colloquially as one's '"papers"') is any document which
may be used to verify aspects of a person’s personal identity.
If issued in the form of a small, mostly standard-sized card, it
is usually called an identity card (IC)

A card giv ing identifying data about a person, as full name,

address, age, and color of hair and eyes, and often containing a
photograph: for use as identification at a place of employment,
school, club, ctc.So a student id card is the identification
card that holds the above characteristics about a certain
student.

ID CARD GENERATION
ID card generation refers to the process to generate, maintain
and distribution of the ID Cards. In the traditional process the
administration has to take sufficient information about the
student. Then the authority authenticates the information and if
it is true they provide the ID Card to its owner. All these
process are done manually and for this the process is too much
time consuming. Students are to wait for several days to have
their ID Card.

AUTOMATED ID CARD GENERATION

In our automated system the total process of card generation is
done with the help of computer through this software rather than
manually. Student's information arc collected and stored in
database and at the same time the administration can provide the
student ID Card. So the concept of time wasting is totally
eliminated in here. Moreover this process is highly compatible
with data storing and manipulating.
