Second the idea that you should read John Brunner’s The Shockwave Rider, set in a culture where there are national IDs and the woes thereof.
National ID is accepted only by those who have not really thought about it. They are going to have to be non-unique and non-single. The undercover cop or person in Witness Protection, to make two easy examples, will need multiple IDs that cannot be linked.
Have you had your identity stolen? Imagine the woes of someone whose identity is canceled!
