    Not in Germany up until now... the Germans are especially wary of centralized ID databases, as they could have been used to exterminate with greater efficiency during the 1930s and 1940s if they had been in existence then.

    The point is you don't necessarily need a passport to enter the US. Enhanced drivers license, Nexus cards, Free and secured Trade cards all work though I hadn't seen that the regulations had changed last June and regular driver's license/birth certificate isn't officially accepted anymore though there seems to have been some flexibility in the transition.
