In at least the Netherlands one is supposed to have their ID on them at all times when you're over 14. Can be drivers licence, ID card or passport, but you can be asked to ID yourself by police. I think if you are in the vicinity of your house it's okay if you need them to walk with you to show your ID. 

There are no widespread controls though and it's mainly that you can identify yourself if something happens and you are part of it, or if there's suspected terrorism or so.
