Okay so, I'm perplexed: is it really just an EU thing to have state issued ID cards that you get for free by just being a citizen and then you use those for ID with like banks or when voting or whatever?

@reiddragon you don't actually get them for free.

  • At least not in #Germany.
    • And I think they should be free!

@kkarhan @reiddragon yeah, that's actually true, they aren't free. i think the cost to get an ID issued is a few euros or so, although i don't know exactly.

@gettie @reiddragon in.Germany it's more like €28...

@reiddragon @gettie yes, and the de-facto implied mandate to have them is just inexcuseable on top of it!
