The solution for this is for the government to provide IDs which operate with the PKI model. Think about a lot of European countries where having an ID is mandatory (which frankly I'm not in favor of) and carrying said ID is mandatory (which I'm wholly against). But the reality of things is that in Belgium I have no issue authenticating myself to any platform that needs to know my identity. I don't need to upload a photo of something. I don't need to look left/right while a camera takes a photo of my face and does a 3D scan trying to give some certainty that I am actually me, and that I am alive. I put in the card which is just a smart card, and it contains a certificate. I sign the request with a PIN and I am me.
