The country was originally a coalition of thirteen smaller countries, which is why today they are still called States and not Provinces. Every State has its own ID, usually a driver's license. If one is not able to obtain a license, or doesn't care to drive, there are State ID cards available, at least where I live. Proof of State citizenship is considered proof of US citizenship.

I mean, how does one prove that he is a US citizen if so required? How about passport that people use to traval abroad, wont everyone have one?

State Department records say that only 36% of Americans hold passports. I haven't had one since I was twelve, and that was 1962.
