I thought you had to have an government issued identification card if you didn't have a driver's license. So even if you don't drive, you should be able to produce ID. Maybe that isn't the law in AR. It is where I moved from.

There is nothing in the law that states you must have a state issued ID if you do not have a driver's license. I am not sure where you moved from but it is not a Federal requirement, and it is not required in North Carolina or in New York.
