A method and apparatus for deactivating an identification device or RFID tag, such as an e-passport or an ID card that has been revoked, has expired, or is invalid. The aperture restriction device restricts the cross-sectional shape of the light beam corresponding to the aperture in the time axis direction in comparison to that corresponding to the aperture in the radial direction and restricts the light beam in the radial direction of the optical disk by a pair of first partial arcs. At least one of a first lock device and a second lock device is provided.
