It was only one example they gave, and they accept multiple different types of ID; a driver's license or national ID card being other likely ones, and DLs do say where you live.
replyNone of those documents reliably state my city of residence. At best they document where I once lived, but not even that is guaranteed.
replyNot updating your DL after changing your address is a crime* in all US states. I'm not as familiar with law elsewhere, but would be surprised if that's not true most other places.
reply*There are exceptions for active duty military personal and other limited exceptions.
You are legally required to update those within 10 days of moving.
replyWhat kind of tyranny do you live in? None of the documents I have on me say where I live.
replyIt's pretty standard in a lot of Europe, one is required to update ones license with each change of address (although many people don't).
replyAlong with such weird (to us) things as applying for an exit visa from your current town when you want to move to a new town...
Which parts of Europe have a town of where the person lives on their driving license? And what do you mean by “us”?
replyMy Spanish identity card has my full address. Not sure if the DNI does as well, or only the foreign resident version.
reply> And what do you mean by “us”?
US folks are pretty used to being able to up and drive across the country with a suitcase, without filing any paperwork (at least till the taxman comes knocking next April)
Have to get your vehicle registered in your new state as well (if you own one) as well as your driver’s license. God help you if your vehicle is towed and your license/vehicle is not registered in the current state. Absolute mess.
replyI ask you about drivers license, you tell me about the national ID.
replyUK driver's licence has my full home address on it. Come to think of it I think my Polish one used to as well.
replyAustralia and UK goes the full distance. Your full address: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driver%27s_licences_in_Austral...
