> If it's stored on your phone What do you if your phone is stolen or broken?

  The same you do when your passport is stolen -- panic and reissue. If anything, reissuing a digital id on a new phone is less hassle, as long as you didn't lose every other physical id, the sim card and reissue codes for esim. All of that already works and wasn't even revoked for military-aged men for the usual reasons. Dealing with consulates and embassies is much more pain in the ass compared to redownloading the app and banging in a number of cold restore cases.

    Aren't you concerned about the rising dependency on that little spy in your pocket?

      Compared to spending half a day just to get to the embassy and hoping they woke up and choose not to be useless today? Or paying notary public and having apostile stump and then paying for DHL? No, no I don’t, not for this reason at least. I can have my x509 issued without a phone as well and it works with an opening source library. I don’t use any of that regularly, but the alternatives I experienced wrre much, much worse.
