Exactly. It doesn't matter where you live and what government you live under, they issue you some form(s) of identification. A digital certificate is simply a digital form of identification. Why should the government keep using ink and paper documents for identification when digital ones are much better?

I for one will be glad when I can just get a certificate in my email instead of waiting in line for 5 hours at the department of motor vehicles to renew my driver's license.

... Personally, I feel this role belongs in the government.
Any particular government?  A few years ago I'd probably have agreed.
With the most blatently corrupt government in living memory, that has
less appeal.

At first I thought this statment was inappropriate on an international list 
where we don't know where anybody lives. But then I realised it applies equally 
well to every government on the planet...

Except, maybe, Iceland?
