in Germany we have the Personalausweis.
It‘s your personal ID card with photo and your address on. The newer ones which are given out today can even store your finger print if you agree and you can also activate an online function so if you have a card reader connected to your pc it can already be used to handle official stuff over the internet without you needing an extra appointment at your local government‘s office which can take several weeks in dependancy of where you live. so if you need any official paper you can order it from home online.
Germany has an agreement with all other countries in the schengen area and certain countries outside EU that the Personalausweis can be used to travel into these countries. So when i travel inside the EU i dont need a special passport for travel.
there is no punishment if you dont carry it with you but police can take you to their station to identify who you are if you cant show it, so better carry it with you instead wasting hours and hours on a police station always.
the driver licences also got a photo on and the card of my health insurance also comes with a photo, so the doctor can see if i am the owner of the card if i want medical treatment.
