May be a stupid question, but it occurred to me that when renewing official IDs, fingerprints are registered, and of course, there’s a clean shot of your face. Kinda makes me uncomfortable, since fascism seems to be on the rise pretty much everywhere. How do you guys deal with this? Necessary evil?

      I don’t know about OP but in México when you get your driver’s license, passport or file taxes, fingerprints and iris recognition are a must, no exceptions.

          The IRS thing (Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público in México) has been a thing for a while, the driver’s license was new as for last year as far as I know.
