Hi,

Which one is correct?

Keep your ID card/mobile phone with you OR yourself.

I think "with you".
 
You're right.
 
You will also hear "Keep your ID card on you".
 
Yourself is commonly used instead of you by speakers who think it's a posh form of the word and don't really understand it. It is a case where learners should trust their instincts and understanding over wannabe pompous native speakers without much knowledge of grammar.
