In the US, you need an ID if you want an actual job or bank account. Apart from living on the streets or living in the woods, I'm not sure how you could function without one.

you only need it if you’re buying alcohol or driving a car. your work gets your social but isnt entitled to your ID, which you don’t have to have or carry if you do have it. You can’t even get a bank account without a contract cellphone, so people without ID use prepaid credit cards you buy at the store and load with cash.

Walmart used to have a ton of options for working class people that didn't have banking options. Not sure if it's still the case. Many US workers were full-time employed and housed and did not have a bank account. Check cashing was through Walmart.

Wallmart won’t cash my checks, they also won’t tell me why they won’t cash my checks. I’ve never had any issues with them, so it’s a mystery. Not that I need that anymore but it’s not a system anyone should have to rely on.

How do you fill out an I-9 for employment without any ID?

[-] FringeTheory999@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

With a pen, usually.

Land of the free... so long as you have ID

Well, it's not like you can actually take someone's word on who they actually are. People lie.
