> Nowhere in EU countries there a requirement for their citizens to _carry_ a legal ID. To all the downvoters: please PROVIDE A SOURCE (bill, act, legal review, any language is OK) that states that a citizen of a EU country must _carry_ a legal ID while staying in that country. Please note I wrote in the original comment and in this comment _carry_, not _provide_. As I wrote, there are states that require you to _provide_ an ID to police officers. But that doesn't mean that you have to _carry_ it with you all the time, just that you can go back home to take it or go to a police station and be identified there.
