Sounds overly complicated. Don't you have id cards in your country?
ID card is mandatory by law, but there aren't sanctions (in my knowledge). You need some kind document though, in US that is usually drivers license. I don't see big difference here.
You only need to show an id, not a passport, right?
Photo ID seems like enough, no?
In many countries you cannot even buy a SIM card without providing an ID.
Even more incredible that it requires a picture of your ID
I’m wondering if you could argue that you were asked for ‘an ID’, not ‘your US passport or drivers license’.
The digital ID is optionalRequirement of carrying ID varies country by country
Any government id eg drivers license will work for that.
Requires the submission of an identity document number (which isn't verified), not a copy of an identity document. Big difference.
