That would be pretty cool. Especially if they nail scoping tightly. Classic example: you want to buy alcohol online and need to verify your age. Instead of clicking “yes I’m old enough” (zero validation) or uploading a photo of your drivers license (way too much info), login with your digital ID.

The e-commerce site asks hey is this person (1) a resident of region X and (2) at least Y years old? The e-commerce site is responsible for knowing what ages to check for what regions. ID service is responsible for validating the facts you want to share. You get the age controlled service and no third parties get more info than they need. Better.
