Is it possible to live as a British/Canadian/Australian while openly disavowing the Monarchy?

Suppose a natural-born citizen of one of those countries principially objects to the notion of Monarchy and in particular is unwilling to swear allegiance to a king or queen - are there any rights or privileges that would be denied to them such as getting an ID, a passport, a drivers license etc. ?
What about a non-natural person otherwise qualifying for citizenship or a passport ?

From what I've heard, it's harder to live as an American refusing to force your kids to say the pledge of allegiance than it is to live as a Brit not giving a damn about the Queen.

Do you count joining the armed forces as a "right or privilege"? Being in a cadet corps was the only time I can remember the Queen being invoked in an "official" capacity, so there might be obstacles joining up as a republican.

I have been a Canadian my whole life and I do not recall ever being asked to "swear allegiance" to the monarch verbally.
Generally the monarchy is popular in a celebrity kind of way and while there are some anti-monarchists I believe it is not a significant political issue.
Since individual rights are important to Canadians (and I imagine similarly to the people of the U.K. and Australia) political views are not a hindrance to living a normal life for the vast majority of Canadians.
At this link are people who are openly anti-monarchy and I would guess they have drivers' licenses and passports.
New Canadians have to declare fealty to the monarch when they make Canada's Oath of Citizenship.
