The UK also has national ID system. It is almost unique in Europe in this respect.
- iso1631 5y agoThe UK doesn't have a national ID system. It's not clear how such a system would help in this situation - if the fraudster managed to get a driving license, why would they have a problem getting an ID card.
- jopsen 5y agoMany national ID systems in the EU have a digital component. With two factor authentication. They are not perfect, but it raises the bar.
- iso1631 5y agoSo if you lose your phone you can never get a replacement ID? Or is the 2FA not worth the paper it isn't printed on when it comes to replacements, and you're back to the same level of proof you need for a driving license or passport.
- jopsen 5y ago(A) If the app on my phone stops working because someone stole my ID, then I'll likely notice next time I try to use it. (B) You have to compromise both password and 2FA. (C) Walking into a government office certainly raises the barrier to stealing ID.
