> Of course, we also have a national ID in the form of passports, but a lot of people don't have one.

Passports should be issued to citizens free of charge, and could carry driving endorsements as physical and digital metadata (I don't suggest that harmonizing driving credentialing and administration across all 50 states and other US territories is an enormous undertaking, just one that should be done).

Are there countries that issue passports for free now? Tried a quick search and didn't come up with anything fruitful.

Not entirely free, but I did find several countries that charged as little as $15.
