Being required to show an ID card or Photo ID would likely depend on which country you are in. I will answer based on common activities or errands that United States' citizens might do on any given day, which includes: (This is not an all-inclusive list.)
- when requesting a certified copy of your own US Birth certificate
- when requesting a certified copy of one/both of your deceased parents' birth and death certificates (along with your birth certificate which states your parents' names)
- when renewing a Driver's License or State ID
- before a citizen votes at a voting location
- when applying for a passport, I think
- when making a request for records from a government agency or department under the Freedom of Information Act (such as FBI records; US Capitol Police arrest records)
- when applying for some government assistance agencies, and recertification of enrollment
- when applying for some jobs
- when filling out Human Resources forms when first beginning a job (some require ID)
- when first being enrolled in some health programs, like Home Care (initial intake/eval)
- when going to a hospital or outpatient department for services or tests - this just began in the last decade, because people received services using someone else's State medical card under Welfare
- when receiving narcotics from a licensed physician in his/her own practice or in a pain management clinic
- when first becoming a customer at a pharmacy when filling narcotic prescriptions and anytime a worker does not know who you are
- when picking up a "signature requested package" addressed to someone else (BUT only with prior permission and the person giving written permission for the other person to do this errand).
- when opening a checking or savings bank account at a bank
- when cashing a check or making a bank withdrawal
- when cashing a check or paying by check at a store
- when stopped by a policeman when you are driving and committed a traffic violation (You are not required to show ID if you are just walking somewhere or going about your daily business/routines)
- when you are arrested, if you have your ID on you
There may be other occurrences that are not listed here.
