  3. Introduce code from the letter to authenticate

Who will implement this?

    My government does this actually.

    Yes, and banks when you wanna activate online banking. Arguably, then it's just for registering, and logging in then works differently.

    Governments and banks love this, but I've even seen it with phone companies with e-sims. I quickly needed a new phone subscription, so I considered an e-sim, because I figured you could activate it by scanning the QR code from the screen. But no, they will mail me a piece of plastic with the QR code on it. So I went with a regular sim instead.

    I see. Well, I think if you could just scan the code from the screen, that probably would open up all kinds of gateways for scammers. On the other hand, faking a physical address is a bit more expensive.

    I mean, in Canada we can activate esims by scanning a digital qr code, and we have significantly less scam calls than the US does... Because we have much better laws about that sort of thing.

    Probably Italy. All institutions and many households still have a working but unused fax line in Italy (which most photocopiers still support). Many documents can only be transferred either in person or by fax.

    We are not savages, we have low cost multi-gigabit optic-fiber household connections available in the majority of cities. Our bureaucracy is just anachronistic.

    Can't you just send official stuff via Posta elettronica certificata? I thought that was the point of these sorts of systems

    PEC is usually not free (neither is fax, but a landline is more common than PEC). But also, I think it's not accepted everywhere. Maybe you can also use posta raccomandata. But for that you must go to the post office in person and wait in line with other 10 pensioners, and it also costs, so you are probably better off just handing the document in person.

    Ah that's a shame, if they made it free (at least for communication with the state) i think it could clear up the fax situation a lot. They did this in my country and it got rid of the faxes

    My healthcare governmental insurance… last time I had to request a password. Took 2 good weeks. Fucking crazy inefficient process for an application that in the end exposes close to zero PII. The juicy stuff is behind another account with 2FA and more.
