Recognition of an official card by the State was never the problem. The problem was the fundamental shift in the relationship between the citizen and the State. Are you free or are you not? Does the State exist to tell you, where absolutely necessary, what you cannot do, or does it exist to give you a list of the things you can do?

If you are born free, and live free, then any scheme that compels you to be registered and prove what rights you have flies in the face of that freedom.
