I recall train ride in Europe from Czech Republic to Germany. 2 AM, “Your papers Please.”. Federal government Real ID is in effect now. To fly out of state you must have one. I do not. I even let my California ID expire in April. I have my expired passport.
NATIONAL DIGITAL ID CLEARS CONGRESSIONAL HURDLE AMID FEARS IT COULD BE POLITICALLY ABUSED
A national digital ID system for U.S. citizens is fast becoming a reality following a vote by the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee to advance the Improving Digital Identity Act.
Digital IDs act as online, data-laden representations of human beings. Many analysts, such as the authors of a 2019 McKinsey Global Institute report, argue they could be the key to unlocking access to financial services, various government benefits and educational opportunities, as well as a number of other critical services.

Although the concerns about digital IDs are real, it's important to separate the facts from the fearmongering fiction.

Good commentary & reminder. Efforts to put these in place have been rumored for years. These digital ID's, like digital currencies and all the rest remind us we are being treated like so many cattle for the source and use of the kleptocrats.
No worries.. The State will discern a way. .We have State ID cards and have State licenses to drive for illegals. Very soon your existence permit will include life carbon emissions so here too tracking can be done one exhale at a time.
