Requiring additional forms beyond passport is an onerous and silly
restriction.
a) I doubt anyone would be skilled enough to detect anything but obvious
passport forgeries
b) Many of the additional forms of ID likely share the same 'root' as
the passport
aside: That 'root' can be pretty weak
c) Anyone who can procure a forged passport can forge others IDs
Or is there some other compelling reason?
(I almost certainly will only have a passport available..)
