"And through covetousness shall they with feigned words [*in their law books] make merchandise of you:" 2 Peter 2:3
"The words of ungodly men are crafty; but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them." Proverbs 12:6
There are only two types of laws in existence; mandatory and voluntary. The way you can tell if a law is mandatory or voluntary is very simple. If it is voluntary, your signature is requested, a contract is required. If it is mandatory, no signature or contract is required. For example, do you sign a piece of paper saying you will not kill anyone? Or steal from anyone? No. These are mandatory laws, and don't require your permission or signature to enforce them. Mandatory laws don't require a contract. They only require the presence of your body for enforceable action against you.
When you are asked to sign a piece of paper, it must always be done voluntarily.
To illustrate, let's use an example of a signed confession. A signed confession must be done voluntary. If a policeman took you in a back room, put a gun to your head, and threatened to kill you if you didn't sign a piece of paper, that paper would not be signed voluntarily by you. Now, the same applies to every piece of paper. If anyone threatens you in the same way to sign any piece of paper, then it is not signed voluntarily by you. Additionally, if anyone says to sign something, and threatens to take your car, or take your house, or fine you, or put you in jail, if you don't sign it, then this paper is not signed voluntarily. It is signed under threat, duress, coercion, etc.
Now, think of every time the government asked you to sign a piece of paper. Does the government threaten you in any way? Do they say, "If you don't sign this paper, then we will do (threat) to you?" For example, does the government say to you, "If you don't sign this drivers license, registration, and insurance paper, then when we pull you over, we will take away your liberty by arresting you, steal your car by impounding it, extort your money by fining you, take away your liberty of movement by throwing you in jail, take your kids from you and put them in a foster home, bring your pets to the humane society and have them terminated, and, oh yea, we'll cancel your library card! "Yes, they do," may be your answer. Why do they have to intimidate you into signing papers? Because there is no law requiring you to sign anything! Are deceit and threats compatible with the character of God? (Lam.3:22-25).
If there was a law requiring you to do something, no signature would be required! If there was a law stating you were required to sign something, then this would mean they can use force, "legally," to get you to sign anything they want. If they can use force legally, then you are not signing a contract voluntarily. So, that police man who took you in the back room and "held a gun to your head" (threatened you), he would be doing his job legally by forcing you to sign a piece of paper. There is no law to force you to sign a confession, but it makes it a lot easier to prosecute you if you do sign something "voluntarily." There is no law requiring a signature from anyone, but it makes it a lot easier for the government to convert you into something that you are not.
When you sign a drivers license, or any license, this signature is not required by law. For they 'ask' you for your signature. If it was the law, your signature would not be required. Only contracts and permits require a signature. Governments only have the right to regulate commerce, and commerce is regulated by contracts, licenses, and permits. These are all voluntary. This is why the government must force you to accept a mark identifying you as being engaged in commercial activity.
