I guess I have a problem - I only meat people online, so nobody is

I have a related sort of problem: If I were to meet someone in person,
I have no real identification that I could offer to prove who I am.
I've never had a driver's license, passport, or anything else that gets
a proper vetting before being issued to me.
Other things that could be used to sort of identify me aren't really
valid. I browbeat the bank into letting me open an account, because I
had nothing that categorically proved who I am. They gave in, as I'm
sure plenty of other places that do crap vetting will do.
During the process I gave them a bit of a berating about other things
they said they'll accept to identify me (a handful of bills addressed to
the same address, a birth certificate, etc.), all of which anybody could
steal from almost any house.
