This is not how it works. Your NFC ID card establishes that a person that looks like X is named Y. That’s fine, that’s what we get, just less reliably, from a photo of your passport. You will still need to smile for the camera to establish that a) you look sufficiently close to X and b) you appear to be a live human being (as opposed to a photo being held to the camera)
The image of your face and the image (NFC capture) of your ID are stored to prove to auditors that you were indeed verified to required standards.
No one wants your mugshot, it’s a legal requirement they are having to satisfy.

KYC checks are already being tested with electronic IDs, and the identity of the customer is verified by the presence of a government ID, and the input of a PIN. No selfies or similar farces are involved.
