Couldn't we do this thorugh a system that's similar to PKI? That is, have each person generate a private-key and certificate signing request (that's signed by the appropriate government agency)?
Resetting it outside the normal certificate expiration time would require that one go to the local branch of the government office to do so (much like getting a replacement social security card or replacing a lost or stolen passport). At that point, you would have to provide proof of your identify that would be verified by the government agency.
