FAQ
We strongly recommend to keep the proofs all the time with you whenever you step out of your home.
There have been instances where someone was walking within their community in the early morning hours. When someone called the police, he was asked to prove his identity and legal status without a chance to visit home and show those documents.
While this may be a one-off incident, but, we cannot rule out widespread implementation.
Hence, it is better to be cautious and carry proofs with you.
