For producing identity cards, access cards, identification cards, or the like, containing electronic and/or electric components, including such with outwardly directed contacts, it is proposed that at least one central layer of the card, containing also the electronic and/or electric components or consisting thereof, be initially retained in floating condition by adhesive quantities applied as floating mass at least on one inner face, and be then progressively compressed to a thickness that is predetermined by stops, without any application of heat, and be finally cured so that the electric and/or electronic components are supported in the finished card, embedded in the intermediate adhesive layer so formed.
