Cellphones Used as ID Cards in Japan

Japanese college to put ID cards on cellphones

A cellphone is the last thing a typical student would forget to take to class, so a Japanese university said it would incorporate identification cards into mobile handsets.

From next April, all new students at Kanagawa Institute of Technology near Tokyo will carry an ID on their phone that lets them register for classes, open locked doors and surf the Internet for school-related information.

Students can also use it to buy from the cafeteria, shops and vending machines.

"No student forgets to take a cellphone with him, even if he forgets his textbook," university president Kosei Oguchi said on Friday.
