The way to think of it is that once you leave your home country the most valid document you have is your passport or national ID card. In Europe sometimes drivers' licenses from other European countries. This is kind of non-news- plenty of hotels have my ID card or passport on file because as a previous poster said, they are required to turn this information over to the police daily.
