Each person can only be assoc. with their own biometric info. Unless they have eye transplants or something....
Thus, since the biometric data on the card has to match the person carrying the card then even if the name on the card is false they are stuck with that false name for ever after and can be monitered with that name.

That will only hold true for some forms of biometric information. You'd have a hard time faking a retinal scan, but an iris scan could be forged with a suitable contact lens. Similarly fingerprints can be faked using a thin latex fingerprint with the appropriate pattern on it.
*Edit* - Thinking about it, I wonder what the equipment that does a retinal scan do if you wore a clear contact lens, but with the centre darkened to obscure the pupil. Wouldn`t work on a machine with a human operator, as you can see a part of the iris as well, but would an automated machine be intelligent enough to realise, or would it just assume a hardware failure.
