Requiring strong ID verification (from government ID or the digital ID we're discussing) helps protect against identity theft. Other countries I've lived in that use very weak forms of ID ("a utility bill in your name") seem like much bigger paradises for identity theft.

I'm talking about cross border identity theft. The public data of swedish citizens is sufficent for weaker identity systems in other countries.
