I heard that in France, they'd use postal office workers to verify people's IDs. It's a brilliant alternative to whatever we're doing in Germany.

We couldn't possibly employ people to solve the problem. Don't you know the post office is a waste of money?

Isn’t that just like Postident in Germany?

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.

Don't we have PostIdent in Germany? At least I used it to open my bank account.
