No, in the United States, there is no federal law requiring you to carry identification on you at all times; however, you may be required to show ID in certain situations like purchasing alcohol, boarding a plane, or if asked by a police officer under certain circumstances depending on your state laws.
Key points to remember:
No universal law:
No state mandates that everyone must carry ID at all times.
Specific situations require ID:
You might need to show ID when buying age-restricted items like alcohol, tobacco, or certain medications.
Driving requires license:
In every state, driving a vehicle necessitates having your driver's license on you.
Police interaction:
While not required to always carry ID, you may be asked to provide identification if stopped by a police officer in certain situations.
That mandate was finally passed under fmr Pres Obama, at which point the GOP was suddenly against it.
Go figure.
