Not if there is no law about it.

If there is a law about verifying buyers, how else are they going to pass that audit?

There's a law forbidding storage beyond necessary minimum and law punishing such behaviour unless another law necessitated storage of the original document in the unsecured, unencrypted form. Doubtful.

There's also laws mandating secure systems design.

Separately there's no _need_ to store the original document if the verification system is sound (and audit real, not some phony crap like in some of the scandals posted here on HN).
