Since when the city one lives in is mentioned in the birth certificate?
- smcin 7mo agoIt was only one example they gave, and they accept multiple different types of ID; a driver's license or national ID card being other likely ones, and DLs do say where you live.
- kvdveer 7mo agoNone of those documents reliably state my city of residence. At best they document where I once lived, but not even that is guaranteed.
- malfist 7mo agoYou are legally required to update those within 10 days of moving.
- xnyan 7mo agoNot updating your DL after changing your address is a crime* in all US states. I'm not as familiar with law elsewhere, but would be surprised if that's not true most other places. *There are exceptions for active duty military personal and other limited exceptions.
- tosti 7mo agoThat's pathetic. It would mean you can't live anywhere without a street address, such as a camp site or a ship. You also can't be a nomad. So much for "land of the free".
- mcmcmc 7mo agoUnless you’re wild camping, campsites have addresses. So do marinas where a ship would need to be docked more or less regularly to establish residency. As for being a nomad, you don’t need a driver’s license or any kind of ID to wander if you’re willing to sleep rough. If you want to drive on public roadways though, you better have a primary address where the courts can send someone if you kill someone in a traffic accident and bail.
- tosti 7mo agoDocking is expensive, so no. It's also only needed once per 5 years or so for maintenance. Government fining you a ticket doesn't mean your address has to be on the drivers license. They could register the number plate to an SSN for instance.
- mcmcmc 7mo agoDid you skip my last sentence? A traffic ticket is not the worst thing you can do in an automobile. And not everyone eligible for a drivers license will have an SSN.
- tosti 7mo agoBailing from a traffic incident is a crime itself. Good luck getting away with that. And why would someone not get their SSN if they're old enough to drive?

- jcgrillo 7mo agoIn some places in the U.S. it is (or at least was until recently) illegal to be healthy and unemployed.
- AlotOfReading 7mo agoFor most situations where you don't have a permanent address, your address is either the place where you receive mail or the courthouse.
- direwolf20 7mo agoAnd if you don't have a place to receive mail?
- 1718627440 7mo agoReceiving mail is a requirement for participating in the legal system, which is a requirement for citizens.
- direwolf20 7mo agoLaws of the government can't override laws of physics. If you don't have a place where you can receive mail, do they just arrest you or what? Do they assign a PO box to you?
- 1718627440 7mo agoIf you fail to comply with legally delivered court messages (to your registered mail address), then yes the police is going to fetch you.
- direwolf20 7mo agoAmerica is one of the least free countries — they think they're free because the guns=free principle is drilled into them since birth, but it's a lie.
- VohuMana 7mo agoIt is a law but rarely enforced, also some places like Washington are primarily digital meaning you update your DL address online but they don’t print a new ID unless you request it or your DL is expired

- swiftcoder 7mo agoIt's pretty standard in a lot of Europe, one is required to update ones license with each change of address (although many people don't). Along with such weird (to us) things as applying for an exit visa from your current town when you want to move to a new town...
- throw20251220 7mo agoWhich parts of Europe have a town of where the person lives on their driving license? And what do you mean by “us”?
- swiftcoder 7mo agoMy Spanish identity card has my full address. Not sure if the DNI does as well, or only the foreign resident version. > And what do you mean by “us”? US folks are pretty used to being able to up and drive across the country with a suitcase, without filing any paperwork (at least till the taxman comes knocking next April)
- throw20251220 7mo agoI ask you about drivers license, you tell me about the national ID.
- azernik 7mo agoYou did not ask about driver's licenses. You asked about "document I have on me". Many people in many countries carry their national ID card in instances where Americans would carry their driver's license. (And, to be clear, if you are American and drive, your driver's license contains your address.)
