National ID cards are evil. They are not a thing in my country and there would be very very strong opposition if they were seriously proposed (including riots, like when vaccine mandates were imposed on a subset of the population a few years ago). The passport is the only thing remotely close to a national ID, and a good proportion of the population do not have one. Standardizing a national tracking ID so foreign powers can know everything about you and sell it to further enrich their oligarchs? Not a chance.
