A converstation earlier this week pointed out the EU system: eIDAS [0]. it looks pretty interesting how its decentralized.
I could see something like this running from each state's DMV (or the postal service if you didn't want to use your local state DMV) to help ensure you are you.
It would be interesting to hear what people that use it say, because i'm sadly stuck in a very US world :)
We already have systems for notarization, perhaps we could try to leverage that, updating it for more modern purposes. I could see them issuing things like smart cards. Then again we have some pretty hardcore religious zealots who refuse to do anything even remotely resembling a national ID system, so it will continue to be fragmented and subject to each state's implementation.
