Abstract: An identification card sleeve for use in a wallet or the like includes a semi-rigid tray with an edge channel surrounding three sides of the periphery of the tray to define a slot within which an identification card may be inserted or removed. A finger grab or tap is located on the side of the tray without the edge channel and provides a convenient locator and handle for inserting or removing the sleeve from a wallet slot. The front of the identification card is not obscured by any covering over the card and the relatively thin construction of the sleeve does not add significantly to the bulk or thickness of a wallet within which it is carried.
