Personal Identification

[JohnMatrix]

Is there any laws that require a person to carry ID on them at all times (i.e. not driving)?

I am a law school graduate. What I offer is mere information, not to be construed as forming an attorney client relationship.

What state are you in and what type of ID are you speaking of?

Sorry about that. I am refering to the state of Illinois. I mean can you walk around with no ID(License, State ID, etc.)?

Oh I see what you mean. Well, not a smart thing to do, in case something bad happens, but I am assuming yes. I have never heard of the absolute duty to carry ID unless you are driving, etc. Read through these links to see if there is a duty:
