    But do people use their driver license to identity themselves at all (not necessarily to prove citizenship) or is this a myth as well?

      Yes it’s common because most people drive and they’re also used to buy alcohol, plane tickets, etc. but they don’t prove citizenship. Some states allow undocumented people to apply for them, I believe.

      But there’s still a decent number who don’t have one, usually poorer people. Most of the uses for a photo ID involve spending money on luxuries.
