An identification system is disclosed in which a stand-along data terminal reads identification data from an identification card presented at the terminal. The terminal also reads real-time data at the time of each such card presentation. A removable cassette, when plugged into the terminal, records the identification data and the real-time data which is generated by the terminal. The cassette is removed from the terminal so that the recorder data information can be carried and transported to a central data processing unit, whenever desired, for delayed time processing of the data.
