Kind of like ID cards in Estonia? You have a chip on the card that holds your private key and the government has a list of people and their public keys. Services and other people can check that. You can even sign and encrypt documents with it.

China's ID cards also have chips, and they have to scan them to enter train stations or airports (or the center of the old town in Tibet)...
