Does the counry of your birth ....
or where you are located now use identity cards to prove who you are
status wise?

Here in the UK we don't...
although not that long ago the idea came up in our parliament and was rejected.
I have mixed feeling about same for if you are genuine citizen why complain...
however it was ruled out of order by civil rights groups which persuaded our
government to reject such an idea.
Stating having an national insurance number, birth certificate, passport and or driving licence
or the like, was/is sufficient proof of who you are.

It is unusual to have to produce anything more than a Driver's License and possibly a Social Security card or birth certificate as identifying documents here in the US.
There is a form that Human Resources departments fill out when a person is first employed, that requests proof of "right-to-work," whether a person is a citizen or whether they have been authorized to work via the possession of a "green card," which in my understanding certifies that the person is a legal immigrant with at least semi-permanent residency status. I am not all that well-versed in immigration processes.

PS., I got to thinking just now that it is probably in countries of the world
where there is civil war and other forms of conflict where identity cards are most used.

Much obliged for your feedback Charne.
I appreciate what you say about being born in a catholic hospital
but not being a Catholic...being a universal religion I am aware they do extend their facilities
to non Catholics also.
Being a member of the religious society of friends, better know as Quakers, we as a fellowship do like wise.
Religious affiliation or none... makes no difference...
The Salvation Army has the same ethos when it comes to pastoral care.

My son was born in a Catholic hospital as well. We are not Catholic. It was a wonderful experience for me, though; more kindness shown to me in that hospital than in any other I have experienced. The nuns did morning rounds. It was like having a visit from one's loving grandmother. Just lovely.

With the exception of filing for withholding tax for employment 3 years ago, I haven't had to produce ID since a car accident 20 years ago. We're pretty free yet...as long as you're a citizen. Of course, I've become an economic and legal recluse since retiring in 2002...I no longer work and I haven't been stopped by the cops while driving.
