>The only thing I'd imagine it being useful for would be for checking off a regulatory requirement. I think the company I work for could benefit from a service like this for two reasons, but neither of them have anything to do with the authenticity of the ID itself. Basically, we just need a reliable OCR system to capture the name and address to avoid manual entry, and an automated OFAC list[0] check would be nice as well (for the regulatory requirements, as you say).
