The attestation should be at least the same level of security as access to your government services. ie. you trust it as least as much as you trust a scan of a passport.

The trick is that you don't need to prove anything. The government hands out an attestation that the holder meets criteria required to meet a government regulation. The government has taken responsibility. It is why you would require an EU attestation from EU users, and a US attestation from US users.
