They do use a scan or a photocopy, but having that stored it is easier to check the identity of the real person once they claim there was identity theft.

The "verified photocopies" can be a bit of a joke. I know somebody who was having trouble finding enough ID for something. They printed an online bank statement, photocopied it, and got a JP to verify the photocopy against the original printout.
