I haven't shown my photocard drivers license in literally years to anyone, other than renewing it.

I normally just use Birthcert and Utility bills.

Photo ID is common already. Not just driving licences (with a "c") and passports, but in numerous other forms. In Scotland, young people have to prove their age continually, and they have a choice of these or state issued photo bus passes, Young Scot cards (no idea who issues these but commonly used as ID) and student IDs. They're definitely being conditioned into it.
