Thank you! Fair questions indeed. The idea is redacting for when you need to send your IDs primarily online; caring about your privacy and avoiding copies, indeed. You could always do online check-in in the hotel, showing the needed info only, and when showing up physically you simply show it fully to the receptionist, for instance. As someone who cares about data protection; I want to believe I should not accept the fact that all our data is still online available for bad actors; for which I still find necessary tools that make this endeavor easier. Does this answer your questions?

I like the goal and don't like sharing my ID online. I'm simply not sure how this would work - suppose I need to send my passport somewhere (such as an online visa application), what expectation is there that the visa office would accept a redacted passport? Other companies have recently started wanting ID verification; I would love to send a redacted form, but why would we expect they would accept it? Not reject it as unrecognised / invalid? I wonder instead if you could have some kind of signature where you redact, but the redaction includes some kind of signature of the original; the redacted one is not just visual but is a signed package created by your company intended as a shareable digital ID format. Then, you'd work with various ID verification services to accept your package format.

  Actually I think you're right. But I like to think it still useful for processes with no legal right to a full copy: landlord asking your ID on Whatsapp, the gym, or any other one that involves specifically an online process, precisely. On the signed package I think that it would be awesome, but it requires tons of friction I would not be willing to get into right now. Although, makes a lot of sense. Does this make sense?
