A fun moment about our personal IDs…
by Vasil KolevA friend of mine got his ID card stolen a few years ago. He called the police, said that the card was stolen and got issued a new one. Then the new one got stolen, but someone found and returned the old one (which was already voided)…
After which with this card he opened bank accounts, got an international passport, bought a car (at one of the counters at the registration they told him that the card is invalid and to write the number of the driver’s license, on the other one they stroke it out and wrote again the ID number), and in the end he got issued a digital signature from one of the main issuers in Bulgaria. Nobody even checked at http://nbds.mvr.bg/, where you can see that the card is invalid.
And why then are they trying to put biometric data in the documents, as nobody checks them? Why do they think that would help? A far better idea would be a good way for verification (for example, a scan of the ID card, and to be able to check its full validity)…
