The absence of any such documentation has proved a problem for the Rohingya, an ethnic Muslim minority living in overwhelmingly Buddhist Myanmar and who have not been granted Myanmar citizenship, the UNHCR has said.
The credit card-size ID will carry not only their personal data and photograph, but also list where they say they lived in northern Rakhine State and hopefully help with their return home, the refugee agency said.
However, a UN Security Council diplomat -- a member of the panel recently visited refugee camps in the Cox's Bazar District of Bangladesh -- said the refugees are "too scared" to go home at the moment and most of them are expected to stay in Bangladesh for at least a year despite the hardship of living in tents during the monsoon season.
Already, thousands have been flooded out of their shelters by the lashing seasonal rains, the refugee agency said.
