In the USA that doesn't help. If you don't have a driver's license, you have to have a "state-issued ID card", which is the same except it doesn't confer the right to drive. The only way to avoid both is to opt out of society completely, which is effectively giving up living in this country.

- CapitalistCartr 10y agoThey're expensive, most Americans don't have them, especially the poorer, and they're a greater hassle: people expect a driver's license. And once you've had one, they have your photo; too late to change. Also, not having a driver's license is looked down on in most of the USA, outside a few major cities. It constrains job/dating/social/living location opportunities.
- fourthark 10y agoObviously, a passport does not avoid the facial recognition problem we're talking about here.
- Spooky23 10y agoNo. Most laws only require people requesting proof of identity accept an in-state drivers license or military ID.
