These systems don't work well remotely, of course. Sometimes an organisation will accept an upload of a scan or a mailing of a photocopy. They sometimes require it to be signed by a somebody to verify that it's genuine (e.g., a Justice of the Peace). But by doing that, the "hard to forge" feature is lost entirely.
- my_ghola 9y agoThey do use a scan or a photocopy, but having that stored it is easier to check the identity of the real person once they claim there was identity theft.
- incompatible 9y agoThe "verified photocopies" can be a bit of a joke. I know somebody who was having trouble finding enough ID for something. They printed an online bank statement, photocopied it, and got a JP to verify the photocopy against the original printout.

- novium 9y agoAt first I was surprised by you mentioning Ukraine and BankID, especially since it's developed by Swedish banks. But reading about it now makes it seem like they are branching out to other European countries as well. Over here it's basically used for everything that needs authentication / signatures - taxes, banking etc.
