The answer

Selling cards granted by the state is not permissible for two reasons: First, it constitutes consuming people's wealth unlawfully. This card is not considered property among people; rather, it is a right granted to you for personal use, and not every right is permissible to sell. Second, selling it may lead to self-abasement and humiliation if the state discovers it, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "It is not befitting for a believer to humiliate himself."
