I think that, to get a passport, a birth certificate and a referee is all that is required. However, we now have ID cards with finger print verification... and a greater price tag just for ID.

Neither my wife (fully sighted) nor myself have passports or driving licences. When goods are being delivered we have to arrange for my wife to be at home to provide the signature as I can no longer do so. If this requirement of proof of identity becomes more widespread I can see that we can expect serious problems. I wonder though whether I could in fact get a passport now anyway - presumably some proof of identity would be required.
