You wouldn't really take an Ai image to the government for your id, would you? That sounds like a recipe for ending up in court. I'm about to go get a new pass

I'm about to go get a new passport, I am planning to ask how they ensure images are not Ai generated, since the last time I went, they took the photo and didn't have me bring it in myself (what?!)
- ggm 9mo agoIn Australia although Post Offices are privatised franchises, their function as government agents remains. They are certified to take passport photos, which comply with our governments requirements (and I suspect some others but the legal reach here would obviously be modulated) and if you have your old passport no counter-signature is required. If you e.g. had your photo taken in a government office like for a drivers licence, the question "is this really you" doesn't arise. In relation to all the other information "Is this really your name, DOB, birth certificate" they remain, but not the "is this image the person who applied here and now and signed the form"
- verdverm 9mo agoWe used to have the US Post Office handle the photos, that's where I did it last time, but apparently things have changed? It would be great if they could reuse my license photo, which the government just took last year and has on record... perhaps that is too much expectation
