The United States doesn't have a national ID card, but every state issues them. If you don't have a driver's license you can get a straight ID card. The good news is it's used when you need to prove who you are, and you don't have to carry it with you to identify yourself to the authorities. The cops sometimes think you do, but there have been several cases in which the courts have upheld citizens' rights to not have one.
