Are there limited term identification cards in the UK?
I was reading about Limited Term Identification Cards in the state of Texas and was wondering... does the UK have anything similar?
I'm just visiting for a week, so I don't think it's really that important, but I think ID cards, in general, are just cool souvenirs to have and plus I find the process of getting them to be interesting to see, first hand, too. I already have a drivers license for my state, a concealed handgun license, a passport card and a global entry card and am ready for more lol.

You cannot get any kind of UK ID card, as attempts to introduce ID cards in UK have been completely repelled by Identity Documents Act 2010.
