From the University of Kentucky:

Technically, you aren't required to show ID [to the police] unless you're being arrested, ticketed, or you're driving.

There was a recent Supreme Court case (Hibel v. Sixth Jud. Dist. Ct. of Nev.) upholding the right of law enforcement officers to ask someone to identify themselves, but from a brief skim of the decision, it doesn't seem to address the issue of any sort of an ID document.
