Getting a new drivers license in Sweden, or updated I should say, requires me to go somewhere to get my photo taken.
Given that most people already have either a digital camera or a "web cam" on their laptop/desktop why can I not use this to get my new license?
I guess that what I am really asking is why is this not a web service? I can upload my avatar to all other sites, why can I not upload a photo for my drivers license. The service could easily check that the submitted photo it is of required resolution and that all features of my face shows properly.
My signature can easily be scanned with my multipurpose printer/scanner and uploaded in the same manner as my photo.
I would identify myself with a proper online ID (for instance, we use BankID as a valid form of identification for many services already) and be good to go.
