To open a totally separate can-of-worms, why not take my driver's
license? Easier to replace than a passport and much less trouble
when crossing borders. And before someone says "they don't know
what a DL from $COUNTRY looks like", realize that they really
don't know what a passport looks like either.
My driving license doesn't have a photograph on it, so using it as
an identity document is pointless. Some organisations use it that
way, but...
Sorry, I thought we were discussing something to be held by the staff
to ensure you return an access card. That does not have to be the
same document used to verify identity. Last time I checked, the $50
(or £20, or ¥5000 or whatever) bill didn't have my picture on it either.
Although I admit the $50 bill gets me into more places than my DL. ;)
