In EU there are ways to verify yourself online, for instance if you want to get a credit card, etc. This is normally handled by a third-party, which more or less just checks per webcam if the info they got from the other company is the same as what you show them. I don't see any privacy issues here, that I wouldn't have seen in processes of other companies, that already do something like this.
This isn't something new and I would guess that this is the case with most modern countries.
