In the Netherlands we also require ID. But everybody already has an Id card because you need it to travel abroad. In the US, a lot of people dont have a passport, especcially the less wealthy ones.

In NL, you are required to have an ID to be in the public space. Although there is no requirement to carry, there is a requirement to show under certain circumstances ( for non Dutchies, this is classical Dutch consensus, the Poldermodel ).

Also, if I am not mistaken, is an ID not mandatory when using public transport?

I lived without an ID for quite some time.

You mean outside of the Schengen area, right? Are you sure that "everybody" does that?
