Identification marks are used to identify a person or object. The term can refer to a variety of different methods, such as a BRAND, LABEL, or SCAR. A BRAND is a mark that is burned into the skin of an animal or person, usually for identification purposes. A LABEL is a piece of paper, fabric, or other material that is attached to an item and contains information about it. A SCAR is a permanent mark left on the skin after a wound or injury has healed. All of these methods are used to identify a person or object and can be used in combination with other methods.
