Imperium-sanctioned Citizenship ID Qualifications Chip or QualChip

About the size of a modern mem-stick and hung around the neck like Dog Tags, the Imperium-sanctioned Citizenship ID Qualifications Chip or QualChip is a 57th Century ID Card and Passport. It uses a storage 'chip' of solid crystal that can hold 1 petabyte of information laser-etched into it. Being a permeant storage medium, it holds everything ever added to the 'chip'. It creates 'Addendums' to the stored information when any change is made.
