You wouldn't need a federal-issued ID. You can use the state id which you also use to identify yourself for everything else. National ID "requirement" is a fake obstacle. Identification verification is already a requirement as well - you must give your name and attest that you are who you say you are. Lying about it is a crime. An ID would not add an additional requirement, it would just enable better enforcement.

Besides, with "Real ID" state ID's meet federal verification standards now as well.
