Identity documents in the United States
There is no true national identity card in the United States of America, in the sense that there is no federal agency with nationwide jurisdiction that directly issues such cards to all American citizens for mandatory regular use. All legislative attempts to create one have failed due to tenacious opposition from liberal and conservative politicians alike, who regard the national identity card as the mark of a totalitarian society.〔G. David Garson, ''Public Information Technology and E-governance: Managing the Virtual State'' (Sudbury, MA: Jones & Bartlett Publishers, 2006), 171.〕
At present, the only national photo identity documents are the passport and passport card, which are issued to U.S. nationals only upon voluntary application. Most people use state-issued driver's licenses as identity cards.
== Birth certificate ==
The birth certificate is the initial identification document issued to parents shortly after the birth of their child. Although this document is issued by the individual states, it is the first document establishing U.S. citizenship.〔The importance of the birth certificate as a document establishing entitlement to American citizenship arises from the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, whose first sentence is as follows: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."〕
