A method of producing an identification card having an IC module arranged on a carrier element. The carrier element is inserted into a recess in the card. The card has a multilayer construction and bears a separation layer between at least two card layers in the area intended to take up the carrier element. The card is produced by the usual reliable methods. The recess for the carrier element in the form of a punched or blind hole is created by punching through the edge of the portion of the card to be removed up to the separation layer, and removing the severed plug-like element along with the separation layer from the recess. The carrier element is finally stuck into the recess. The production of the recess in the finished card by means of a punching or cutting device can be carried out completely free of dust and chips. The production of the identification card and the embedding of the IC module or carrier element are carried out independently of one another, so that the sensitive IC module is not subjected to the operational sequences of the production of the card.

A method of producing an identification card which includes a carrier element and an embedded IC module thereon, wherein said card has a recess and said carrier element is positioned within said recess, said identification card further comprising at least one card inlay having at least one cover film laminated thereon, said method comprising: (a) positioning at least one separation layer between one cover film and said card inlay layer, said separation layer comprising means for preventing said one cover film and said card inlay from sticking together during lamination of said card inlay and said at least one film into an assembly; (b) laminating said at least one film to said card inlay layer by applying heat and pressure to said assembly; (c) forming a recess in said assembly to provide room for inserting said carrier element into said assembly by cutting a hole in said assembly to the depth of said separation layer; (d) removing the cut portion from said assembly together with at least a portion of said separation layer; and (e) inserting said carrier element into said recess and adhering said carrier element to a surface of said recess.
