If I were a government wishing to encourage the uptake of a State issued
ID credential, I would enact one law and only one law for the purpose:-


a.  It shall be an offence to request any other or additional form of
identification if a national ID card is presented.

b.  It shall be an offence to fail to provide a service or good
requiring identification for the reason that the uidentifiation offered
is a national ID card.



Then leave it to the market.
