That wasn't my point at all.

My point was, there are the application/validation systems and manufacturing already set up for driver's licenses.

Anybody can apply for a provisional driver's license. That provisional driver's license is an acceptable form of photo id that shows your age,address etc already.

So there is no need for an alternative/new system. If they want a "id" version of the provisional driver's license in terms of style/what gets printed then it's an easy/small modification.

Sure not everyone has a driver's license, but anybody can apply for one. If you don't know what a provisional driver's license is, then please look it up...

I somehow completely missed out the part about provisional drivers license when I first read it. I now understand what you meant.

But last part of my reply was more specially on Digital ID. Which current system does not help or hasn't been implemented.

> but anybody can apply for one.

Categorically false
