I forget which EU country, maybe Norway?? has digital ID card for citizens issued by government, so you can prove your ID for online and other purposes… We have a rudimentary form here in British Columbia as well. Currently it is not fully integrated with all web like the EU, but for accessing Social services, BC Govt sites , banking login alternate authenticator, and including Federal Tax site, you login via your BCEID. Verification for issuance is in person or via the app that prompts you to video yourself while speaking words and doing actions that pop up on screen, then later a human verifies the video matches what was asked, as well as other ID info. This could be expanded on to be like the EU one where it is like a private key and public key system to have a true online identifier.
