wow... no ID card... not even some papers like ID ?In Australia we have no citizen id card. The government tried to force one on us in the mid-80's but we didn't trust them then and we still don't trust them now eg last year's referendum knockback.
We do have a Medicare card, which I think is restricted to citizens, permanent residents, and some visa classes. And possibly also visitors from countries with which Australia has a receiprocal health agreement.
But it has no electronics. It has a magnetic stripe, plus I have heard of fixed camera-scanner + OCR being used to read the card.
Note that a card can be for multiple (related?) people eg family.

An interesting kink in the system is that after my son turned 15 yo, I lost online access to his record, but at the same time you had to be 18 yo to register for online access. So for three years, if we wanted to check that eg rebates had been claimed and paid, them it was him that had to telephone them or visit in person. Crazy. Hopefully they'll fix that in time for when his sister turns 15.
We are (the greeks) the only "sheeps" with number at the worldSame as the UK , we don't have ID cards. We can use driving licence/passport etc to prove ID if required.
You can use your driver licence (or passport)wow... no ID card... not even some papers like ID ?
...hmm... do you all need to have passports - even if you are not travelling outside your country ... ?
Last years... lost many people... (not from corona... but from chronic diseases)... so i found out that this tech not used as it needed... history of patient... is a file not used by doctors, nurses, hospitals... no doctor looking-searching what test,which treatment had the patient...Magma forgot to right that in Greece we have got a full file even for our health. The drugs prescriptions are done electronically and we can get their ID in our mobile phone and go with this in a pharmacy. Our full health file besides drugs prescriptions is updated constantly in governmental DBs and the government has just to query these DBs to know everything on us. Supposedly. This is really good and this is really bad. A 1984 film reality isn't much different than this with an exception in the sector of freedom in relation to the government.

Τhough we have ID and this special number for medical/hospital uses (AMKA -> Social Security Number) - every time (have in mind that this could be - and every day or 2 times / day)... got there (at public hospitals)... had to tell the whole story of patient... again and again... again... and again... if i was at hospitals for 3 hours... 1 hour was the history of patient - written in a new paper with new guides of a doctor... and this has not to do with big or small hospital... the same logic everywhere....
This is not electronical file... of patient... this is just to justify "lost" money for our public health.... is totally fake... may be working for pharmacies (because pharmacies - not public but private companies).
* ofcourse i can understand why some doctors are not looking at this db (because many records are fake)... because some others writing test-examinations for other patients using other patients number - or make more money for private hospitals... yes... this is Greece... and this is how some doctors having pools and country house, or houses at islands....
...But i think in case for check police someone.... will ask for a number ? like Social Security Number ? right ?In the US there is no national ID card. Each state you go to the department of motor vehicles and either get a license to drive or an identity card. But unless you want to drive, no ID is required.
So ..how... illegal immigrants catched ?"US citizens are not required to carry identification at all times. However, US citizens are required to have a REAL ID-compliant license or ID card when entering federal facilities, boarding commercial aircraft, and entering nuclear power plants starting May 7, 2025"
Well that's the big problem isn't it? ?????? How do you prove somebody isn't a citizen when nobody is required to carry anything that proves that they are?So ..how... illegal immigrants catched ?
I see...Well that's the big problem isn't it? ?????? How do you prove somebody isn't a citizen when nobody is required to carry anything that proves that they are?
