This is already in place. After EQ was breached, I wasn't sure who to go to, to change my Date of Birth, so it's still the same. :|
There is already a lot of truly immutable and practically immutable data that's tracked.
The other issue is the courts have dictated that you don't own your own biometrics. Phone locked with face or fingerprint? They can get a court order that allows them to force unlock it.
A pin code is considered more secure, because it can't be force bypassed, like biometrics.

- sonicanatidae 3y agoThat doesn't mean what you think it means.. at least not in the US, today. 1. https://fuscolaw.org/police-cant-force-you-to-unlock-your-smartphone-using-fingerprint-or-face/ https://fuscolaw.org/police-cant-force-you-to-unlock-your-sm... (highlighting is mine) This decision overrules previous circuit court rulings in California that biometric features were considered testimonies since suspects weren’t verbally giving up their numeric passcodes or passwords. 2. https://jsberrylaw.com/blog/can-police-officers-force-you-to-unlock-your-cellphone/ https://jsberrylaw.com/blog/can-police-officers-force-you-to... The method by which you choose to lock your cellphone can make the difference between being required to unlock it for a police officer or not. Police officers cannot force you to unlock your phone by a testimonial act that reveals the contents of your mind. You can be forced to unlock your phone by a nontestimonial act. Nontestimonial acts are things like your biometrics, your DNA, etc.
