  You can, but in very specific cases. The "cultural objections" bit requires documentation from a legitimate religious organization - you can't just say 123-45-6789 is the mark of Satan.

    > legitimate religious organization I've seen variations on this for exemption from educational requirements, ID requirements, medical requirements, and the like. It's always struck me as odd that one _can't_ give as a reason "I have rationally concluded, based on the evidence I present here, that I will take X course of action." But one _can_ say "I have been advised to take X course of action by a group of people who pinky-promise that they are authorised representatives of a sky fairy who suggested X to a hallucinating man several thousand years ago."

    > you can't just say 123-45-6789 is the mark of Satan Obviously you can't say it out loud, because you might evoke the wrath of the Old Ones. Additionally, you can just engrave the surface your ID-card with the correct symbols in charcoal, a salted circle (actual salt, not the cryptographic kind), maybe some blood, and you should really be fine for most practical purposes. I mean, this is not the Middle Ages any more. You can just Google this stuff.
