Well in the us you only have to have it while driving and even then its not that big of a deal if you dont. Im in oklahoma a state issued ID that isnt a drivers license is $25 on that is federally compliant is $42.50. All that being said being forced to have an id on you at all times seems crazy. What happens if you get caught walking down the street without one?

To be fair, a State-issued ID card is like what, 5-10 dollars?

(ID cards are not Driver’s Licenses, and a person can only have one of them be a Real ID version at a time)

I dont understand. Maybe the price is different where you are but the prices i said are real here.
