Driver's licenses serve as the primary form of identification in the US.

But you wouldn't know anything about that, would you Ivan, especially since many (most?) Americans don't have a passport.

Are your papers in order, Ivan? It would be a shame if you ended up in a Siberian gulag, eh?

Nobody, surprisingly, our regime doesn't require us to provide fingerprints yet (although that might change; our government loves to say "we just do the same thing all Western democratic governments do, so don't complain"). The punishment for not having valid "papers" is usually a fine (the fines for not having valid documentation related to military service were significantly increased recently for obvious reasons). Unless they close the border, I think we don't need to worry.

Also I always thought that it is weird, having to take driving exams to get an ID and calling an ID a "driver's license".
