Sure, why not? As long as the country knows that they are in-country...
If I move to a different place in the US, I don't have to register with the city or state.
(Of course, if I have a driver license, I do have to update that address within some period of time, and, if moving to a different state, I'd have to get a new one.)
I wonder what would be more difficult, getting your owners to adopt your digitization or to abolish the requirement altogether.
Its probably racist anyway.
