<upd_refs>"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. 
"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_document
.

added "piece of identification" (to ID) because
a) it's not necessarily a *document* in the usual sense (can refer to a card, for example):
- 代わりとなる写真付きの身分証明書 other acceptable form of picture ID
- ならばなぜ、彼らは日本国籍を持っているのに、前科者のように身分証明書を持ち歩いているのですか？Then as Japanese 
citizens why are they forced to still carry around ID cards like ex-convicts?
b) the Wp article suggests it (see quote above)</upd_refs>

maybe the glosses are too broad?

also used for a very specific type of ID historically also, it appears:

<upd_detl>Interesting article. I can't think of a suitable refocus or split of the glosses.</upd_detl>
