wat. the majority of Americans have a DL, ID, or Passport. What a silly thing to say.

For DL alone:

>Data indicates that approximately 84% to 91% of all Americans hold a driver's license, with roughly 237.7 million licensed drivers in the U.S. as of 2023.

Add in an ID and Passport and we are likely closer to 99%

Yep. You basically cannot function in legal society without an ID. If you are an adult and don't have ID you are intentionally trying to live a cloaked life and it won't be very easy.
