Hmmmmm.
Guess I am getting old. My old shark skin wallet has lasted so long and still looks like new so I guess I have not been keeping up!
I will be carrying a wallet for a long time to come.

If you only carry a few cards, bellroy wallets are hands down the best.

Here each state has to do that, and one already has, Iowa. Look up the Iowa digital drivers license. My guess is every other state will follow through with digital drivers licenses, so hopefully soon here as well. We already have electronic health insurance and car insurance cards, and now obviously credit cards with Apple Pay.
Return it unless you're a girl. Zippers are too girly on a wallet IMO, unless it's a rather manly looking wallet. This one is quite feminine.
Men's wallets do not have zippers.
I know. I questioned that zipper too. But I did get it at Nordstrom at Men's Furnishings. Then, I saw these bi-fold zipper wallets at other Men's Store which are suppose to be European-French influenced. I needed a thin/slim credit card case, and that image i posted fit the bill. Because of that zipper compartment, I can hold receipts and more credit cards. It does look like a elongated women's wallet in that photo, but in person, it's the size of a typical men's credit card case; just a tad longer though.

Yeah… I did question it too. Maybe…

What is this "Cash" you speak of?
Where is it obtained?
What are the features and benefits?
Oh my, I feel so out of touch...

Doesn't mean anything. Go to Hollywood and you'd see mannequins outfitted with neon colored clothes obviously intended for flamboyant customers. Doesn't mean you should buy them if you don't want to come across as gay.
Years ago, I went into a shoes store to buy a pair of low cut boots with heels for my girlfriend (now wife). They asked if I was purchasing them for myself
Failing to produce in the uk is technically an offence. You get a ticket and have to attend your local station to produce which is a pain in the ass
I'd like to go wallet free but whenever I do so i'm left with the feeling like I'm missing something. I can get over that feeling in time but there are different situational things I haven't been able to master. For instance, if I leave the grocery store discount card in the glove box it's almost guaranteed I'll forget it and then realize I did at the register. When it's in a wallet and with me then no worries.
I'm also concerned that ApplePay isn't nearly as prevalent as it really needs to be to leave my credit cards at home. I don't know about adding Loop Pay because that's just another thing I'd have to carry around.
That's not to say I'm not going to keep trying. I just haven't mastered how to go wallet free just yet.

Because it is against the law not to have a government ID on your person. You can get arrested for vagrancy among other things, depending on the cop and the situation.
OP, what about insurance cards? Presumably some clinics want/need a physical card they can make a copy of, etc.?
I'd be tempted to go wallet free but I don't know that what I want exists - my wife and I give ourselves a cash allowance each payday and pay cash for everything which we find is much easier than trying to track all the card purchases on online banking (different i know). What I would need would be an iPhone case - NOT a typical folding wallet case, literally just a regular iPhone case - that has maybe three slots on the backside to carry a couple insurance cards and drivers license and where i could fold up some cash.
for now though i still really like my louis vuitton wallet and would feel odd giving it up

I've gotten by remembering the numbers and a picture of the ID card in my phone. That point is moot. However I do still carry it for being carded by a store or something n

I've also gotten by with digital insurance cards.
I am curious how/if this will change when Iowa implements their all digital ID.
----------
I have worked at an Urgent care as well as a general practice clinic while in school. In all cases we were just fine having the card emailed or even looking at a smartphone; I have taken a parent's policy number over the phone as well. Many insurance companies can send a digital insurance card straight to your phone (in an app) or to your email. Really all that matters is the policy numbers. The photo copy is just there for verification purposes (if it doesn't go through you can go back and see if you entered the info properly). If you type in the information correctly, the photo copy isn't even needed.
It is not a federal law it is state law. Any state can change their own laws.

LOL! Now, I have a complex about my credit card wallet. I've decided to return it. When I did purchase it, I wished it was designed without that darn zipper. Otherwise, it would have been the perfect wallet for my needs (6 compartments for its slim size). I don't like those bulky bi-fold wallets.
So, since I am not up to date on all state laws, do ALL states currently require photo ID to be carried with you at all times? Is there an easy way to look this up? Searching just brings up photo ID requirements in conjunction to voting (which is interesting because if it is required at all times anyway, it would be redundant to then require it to vote too, no?).
If IDs go digital and I travel to a state that hasn't implemented that yet, am I at risk of arrest? I imagine technically yes, but that cop would probably be foolish to lock me up unless he had some other reason to do so as well.

Best I could find.
No, most states are fine with looking you up by yor numbers. I have gotten stopped before while walking and they will just look you up by the numbers if you don't have ID.
What you would need a physical ID for are for things like: going to the bar, returning an item without a receipt, buying alcohol, buying something restricted like a gun, opening a bank account, seeing an R Rated Movie, buying a rated M Game, getting a new iPhone on an agreement, or in some cases using a credit card. ---these are more than enough reasons why most people carry ID. Also it's more convenient. When signing up for a store rewards program, you can either fill out a long form, or have them scan the license barcode, the barcode is much quicker.
But police isn't one of them. They can look you up by the numbers or your SS#. But this is considered giving the officer a hard time or will just make them mad, and they'll more than likely find more ways to get you in trouble as a result.
I guess I got caught up by the terminology. I lost my ID back about eight years ago and was issued a temporary one (which is nothing more than a piece of paper that states this is a temporary ID and isn't good for use as a form of identification... so why I needed this is beyond me lol). Had to wait about a week or so for a new one to come in the mail.
I would think that if all it takes for a cop to lock me up is my inability to provide a photo ID, that I would have been issued an actual photo ID much quicker. That said, this was all in California, which doesn't seem to even be on the list I posted.
An interesting side note to this: while we lived in Iowa they handed you ID's immediately (though that has since changed). You literally went in to a "Driver's License" building and they took your picture and handed you your license on the spot. They ARE on the list that I posted, so I imagine that has something to do with things.
I do also know that MA doesn't require you carry registration/insurance since it is all linked with your plates. If you travel outside of MA, they do, and so that may be an answer to my other question regarding digital ID.
You will notice in all those incidences cited that there is one thing missing. In no case does it say a 'physical ID' is required to be on your person, but rather you must be able to proide justifiable identification of yourself ïn certain circumstances".
When you are pulled over by a cop for a driving violation, you are being detained and will be required to provide evidence that you have a valid drivers license. I have found no State law that says you can be arrested or fined for not having it on your person at the time of detainment, as long as your license is currently valid and as long as the officer can determine you are who you say you are. In this instance, a digital copy of your license is enough for an officer to be able to verify your identity via DMV records pull or the NCID.
That was sort of where my gut was taking me on this one, though I didn't know for certain; it just didn't make a whole lot of sense for me to have laws that would state it to be illegal to not carry proof of ID with you at all times. Though I guess there are more nonsensical laws in existence, LOL!
From what I know most women are still breaking the law by wearing jeans on Tuesdays in Arizona. Some laws just never got repealed.
I am not a lawyer, but I think the states only require you to carry an ID. However many cities have vagrancy laws usually in place to combat panhandling. But there are a lot of situations where you have to have an ID with you. I would not want to wander around without mine since that is just giving the cops an excuse to hassle you. I did some reading online and it seems the laws have been changing the last few years and that is why none of us really has an answer.
