      Counterpoint: You do not die* without legal documents, but having legal documents still a “need” in most modern civilizations, can’t even get most jobs if you do not have an ID.

      (*well, not immediately, anyways, you can always beg for food or shoplift)

        Not really, plenty of people are undocumented or live somewhere illegally. It’s very desirable to have legal status, but it’s not a need.
