I'd like to make a list of countries that do not require a national identity card,and have no plans to adopt one.If you live in or have confirmed knowledge of such a country,please send me email to rms at gnu.org
Here's my list of countries with no national cards and no plans for one:Australia,Canada,New Zealand,UK.Australia's previous goverment tried to institute national ID cards,but the Labor goverment dropped the plan.

Switzerland has national ID cards which are optional,but they or some other government ID card are needed for some purposes.
Iceland doesn't have ID cards as such,but they have ID numbers that citizens are forced to use frequently.For example,the national ID number is often required to rend a video or use a gym.
Denmark issues non-photo ID cards with a "person number",and many services use this card to identify people.
Norway will impose a national biometric ID card.
