Source for what, it's so common knowledge that you should list countries that don't do centralized id besides USA in the developed world. Search for voting id laws is probably a good start. https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2019/06/06/better-security-for-id-documents-council-adopts-new-rules/ https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2019...

having a givernment issued ID neither means all data is being stored, nor that itnis stored centralized. In Germany for instance most data is held by the municipality and centralization happens slowly and centralizing pictures is only a recent proposal.
