They can! In fact, in the UK some government services do this already however there’s a couple of drawbacks:
They’d need to use some kind of companion app for each device since the web APIs won’t give them access to this.
For us at least the NFC chip still contains a digital copy of the photo so it’s not really any better since I don’t know what data is going to be sent by the app.
Maybe I’m wrong then, but I just kinda assumed that when I log into some government platform by scanning my ID with an official app all it does is it confirms my identity and sends some kinda encrypted token to the api of whatever platform I’m trying to access.
Although if that’s not the case then yea, I guess that wouldn’t be very anonymous either.
