It does make it kind of hard to verify someone's identity.

That said I think trying to verify someone's identity through online means only became viable a few years ago when everyone had a somewhat working camera and microphone available, and with any luck the risk of deepfakes will cause an early end to the the scourge of people trying to film themselves holding a form of ID.

Online verification of identity might just not suffice for some things or there might be specialized IDs for online purposes etc.

During COVID brokerages did start allowing online transactions for certain things they didn't used to. However, at least my brokerage has reverted to requiring either a direct or indirect in-person presence.
