The UK Home Office has announced a variety of fines relating to its ID card program. Foreigners living in the UK need to have the new ID card by November, but if they fail to show up for appointments, don’t apply for a card or a variety of other offenses they will be fined according to a report in Silicon.com

Penalties will range from £125 for not notifying the government of a missing ID card to £250 for not applying for a card or missing an appointment for fingerprint and facial scans. If an individual continually misses appointments for the biometric scans the fine could elevate to £1,000 and may be deported.

British citizens will have to begin applying for the cards by 2012.
