In other countries, they exist, to vote you just register with the independent voting commission, and on the day they confirm your registered address and give you the paper forms. No voter id required.

The OP can verify with proper ID and be safe. The gov just needs to regulate that rather than keep copies of all the originals. They just have something like a checkbox, where you're either verified or not and a human / smart system is involved and no record is permanently kept of the docs.

Anyway, I don't anticipate this feature working out for meta.
