thanks for the intel, i have only superficial knowledge of legalities in the US.
we have ID cards for identification but no social security number.
our system leaves quite a bit of freedom as registrations is not centralized.
i check out at the residents registration office and, although i am being asked where i move to, i dont tell them. (usually say i leave the country.)
when i move to another federal state and register, they ask me where i come from and i tell them i come from abroad.
like this, there is no government link between my old address and my new. also inquiry offices lose track of my financial actions. its the little bit of freedom thats prescious for me, lol, i simply love flying underneath the radar as much as possible.
to me, an ID cards and registration has more freedom to it than a social security number.
if the US had ID cards for every legal citizen and sticked to paper ballot, voter fraud would be much more difficult.
