I am actually curious how you would go about proving that you are a citizen of the EU. I am sure you need some form of identification to board an international flight even though it might be within the Schengen area.

- Tade0 6y agoMy experience driving through the EU is that barely anybody cares. You may be stopped at internal borders if your car plates don't match a Schengen-area country, but that's it. You'll need your ID to stay in a hotel/AirBnB though. So unless you squat or camp illegally, better have it with you.
