Verification is not done by humans, and it's instant.

[RickS]

It's not that simple. Instant verification is shaky and relies on 1) the ability for a computer to properly read your document and 2) the information it reads to exist in a 3rd party repository of your personal information (these are terrifyingly vast).

If 1 or 2 fails, which they do often, you're back in human land.

There are a significant amount of stories out there (and shared here) that directly disagree with your assertion.
