What are we doing in Germany?

The options I have seen so far were a) using our digital IDs, which is very handy or b) having a bank verify my identity in person with my ID, which is also pretty good.

These options are not available to recent immigrants, people with foreign documents and people without a registered address. I spent a lot of time working around those limitations.

What is the difference between the second option and how they do it in France? I haven't tried it before, but shouldn't that work with foreign documents or without a registered address as well? Or is it more like that it should work in theory, but in practice those documents just aren't accepted?
