PURPOSE:To make possible the reduction in the size of an ID card making device by a photographic system, the lessening of manpower in card making and the speed-up of card making by conveying a photographic material in an erected state according to the rotation of a worm. CONSTITUTION:The photographic material 200 cut approximately to the size of the ID card is charged into a processing tank and falls in the processing tank according to the rotation of the rollers of a roller mechanism 270. The material is transferred to a worm mechanism 272 when said material is disengaged from the rollers of the lowermost stage. The mechanism 272 is constituted of respectively a pair of side worms 272A and bottom worms 272B which support the side part and bottom part of the material 200. While the erected state of the material 200 is maintained, the material are moved by the rotation thereof. The material 200 is conveyed to a roller mechanism 271 and when the material projects from the rollers of the uppermost stage, the material is engaged by a clamper mechanism 274 by which the material is transferred to the processing tank of the next stage.
