Yes, and getting identification is anything but free in most of the US. Often time you may have to pay to get some other documents (birth certificate, SSN card, etc) first to prove your identity. The threshold of proof for getting an ID in some states is pretty high, and only getting higher with the pointless REAL ID initiative. Many people in the rural US (which is a ton of people) are hours away from a place that will issue identification.
