I think it's way more common in USA than in europe because here you can't just phone a bank and open an account with your tax agency code. Normally the first time you need to go and show your id.

SSN is certainly not enough. I just recently opened 4 accounts with US banks remotely. All four requested to send them pictures of both sides of my ID card + my selfie holding said ID card. And there were additional steps to confirm my identity before activating the accounts.

All of this thanks to KYC anti money laundering regulation.

Can't you easily forge that?

Shouldn't be a problem for a dedicated criminal, but not as easy as submitting SSN and date of birth into a web form, so can't be done cheaply in bulk.
