    Requiring a picture of you ID seems very 2005 though

    What’s the more 2023/contemporary alternative for verification?

    Fully sequenced genome with attached dickpick and certified bathwater sample?

      Here in Germany I think our ID cards use NFC, I can identify for Government related stuff by pressing my ID card on my phone. Last time I did this for some free energy cost related money from the government due to the war.

      EDIT: Here’s an explanation I saw earlier of how it’s done in Finland:

      How we do it here in Finland is that there are digital identity providers which use bank/mobile carrier to identify you. They then use MFA when identifying you. Any service can use these services to do strong authentication for you. And they don’t cost anything for the customer, and is really cheap for the company who wants to identify you. It is also build into the law that you must identify people using these, to avoid identity theft.
