How's it going?

Well, I'll tell ya. I've always carried my passport card in my wallet. Yesterday, I went out on my bike ride and realized I'd left my wallet at home, so I immediately turned around and went home to get it.

I don't want to be stopped by the secret police without having proof of citizenship.

So that's how it's going.

this seems similar but it's from the people's favourite organisation, the NHS

(edit: also their message may amount to false representation of their intentions [i.e. "fraud"])

Unearthed my wife's international driving license. We used these when we were stationed in Europe. Several years later, to my surprise, I was able to rent a car in Japan with mine. #yourpapersplease
