So kids just memorize their parents' driving license when they don't pay attention, and this is bypassed, just like in the old days.

No. Kids would need to memorize the private key of their parents id card.

Common risk awareness, one would hope. What's to stop a random criminal from using that private key to take out a big loan in your name?
