Note
A plural that only some meanings of identification take comfortably. It counts separate acts of recognizing someone or something, as when a witness picks out several faces or investigators name victims one by one. When the word means the process, or the state of being identified, it usually stays singular as a mass noun. Papers proving identity work both ways: you show identification at the door, but officials may compare two identifications.
