USPS is already the agent for a national id program in all but name — passports and passport cards, which are much better than DMV issues credentials in many ways.
As another poster mentioned, the problem is that both progressive and conservative constituencies are strongly against meaningful national identity for different reasons, some of which are insane.
It’s a policy problem that won’t be solved in our lifetime. Our best bet long term is for states to issue mobile credentials, but even that is problematic because it will disenfranchise people.
