Biometric ID

[Zen_Mechanics]

Well, it's the new standard these days, Germany also got the "electronic" ID card. Though it's - for now? - not mandatory to have your fingerprints stored on the chip and we don't have stored family links as part of the stored data.
And of course every "feature" you can get with the ID needs to be payed extra.
It's just a way to get some more cash into the governments pockets as the fee you have to pay to get a new ID card increased by something like 250-300% or so.
Oh and you can't avoid getting one, we're bound by law to have a valid ID card no matter what.

Its currently "pilot" - only a handful of cities will get to check them in the coming months, for the moment its not mandatory but it will be nation wide in two months - and then you may get to go to jail if you decline the usage.
Resourceful or round the twist?
