That's true. But the same holds for an ID card of a foreign country that you might never have seen before. But being German and having seen Martin's German ID card I tend to think I could successfully perform the check back when we met for the first time. Keep in mind though that I just asked about signature revocation. It doesn't seem to make sense for me to revoke my signature. Your mileage may vary if you're unsure about the ID he showed you. I can completely understand that. Furthermore I wonder if he finds someone believing his ID card in the near future.
