Colleagues of mine have created just such a system: IRMA. Short for I Reveal My Attributes.
The way it works:
The government (or anyone else) can approve an attribute of yours, e.g. "over 18". You can then choose to share this verified attribute with whomever requests it.
The requestor can then see who verified that you have the requested attribute.
