Yes. Amongst other reasons in my country carrying your photo ID card (or passport) is mandatory. You also need it for interacting with government services, banks, voting, hospital, crossing borders or wherever you need to identify yourself here.
Along with my ID card, I also carry a bit of cash and my credit cards and my drivers and boat skipper licences in a waterproof cycling wallet along with my phone, which is also my everyday wallet.
Credit cards can really help when stuck 150km+ from home on some ill thought out adventure, cash for coffee and food and the phone is, well, indispensable really.
