    So, to be clear - if you ever need to renew government documentation or get access to government systems (benefits or taxes), the government doesn’t ask to see government ID - it outsources that to bank procedures from n years ago?

      Practical sense yes, I accessed my tax info today, and strongly authenticated through my mobile provider. It took me 2 seconds and there was MFA included in the process.

      Edit: here is Finnish Cyber Security Centers article how the process works: https://www.kyberturvallisuuskeskus.fi/en/our-activities/regulation-and-supervision/electronic-identification

      It is defined in Finnish law that all services must use this mechanisms

        Looks like initial submission of identity documents can be done electronically - not necessarily in-person.
