Oh, yea, give me a single government controlled ID app/database, that makes me feel secure.

This application is a must to have in these countries, since there's just too many limitations without it. For example, in case you need to access a Bank abroad without the "PIN-Calculator" and SMS. Otherwise, there's digitalized ID Card option, which then supports NFC and common card readers you could connect to a portable USB card reader. Yet, it also requires a biometry to create one: https://www.migracija.lt/ (I want to get the personal identity card and/or the passport of the Republic of Lithuania...)

Perhaps, we travel or live in too different regions, and where I usually adventure it's already required to have an ID, also frequently backed by biometric data, to be stored at Government's databases.

This interactive map displays the presence of National IDs and electronic IDs, including biometric IDs, in countries globally.
