There's no such thing as a 'national ID'. If you want to prove your identity
in the UK you need either a full British Driving License (which Harry and
Ron wouldn't have, presumably) or a Passport. We don't have any kind of ID
cards or documents - the closest would be a National Insurance number (which
comes on a credit card type thing, but has no picture - and besides witches
and wizards probably wouldn't have one) And even if Harry and Ron didn't
take a passport with them (they could travel round Europe without one) they
wouldn't be able to get back into the UK without one.
