In Germany there is a process called PostIdent by Deutsche Post. Any business can send you a QR code which you take to the local post office and a teller will verify your ID. The business is being notified next to instantly and you can proceed with whatever is needed. It's a nice and smooth process. Businesses could also use the German government ID, which has a chip with cryptography functionality built in. |

Same goes for the whole EU, it's in the new ID card standard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_identity_cards_in_the...
I hope we start seeing some neat use cases with them. Being able to cryptographically (and in some cases anonymously) prove one's unique identity online would be pretty cool.
