Sure it would reduce the amount of private data considered, but also the
name&address could (should) be considered private, and hence it wouldn't
take away the fundamental concerns as they are stated by several people.

A notarized statement wouldn't need to contain all
the personal info. Just
a
name and something else to distinguish common names (I suggest an address
as the
snail mail method pretty often will include a return address anyway). The
rest
of the info like age, nationality, race, identification numbers, etc. is
only
seen by the notary who puts a seal on the document to verify that the
signature
was made by the person with that name.

I am not sure if that would solve any of the problems that some people
have
with the current situation. Still the notarized
statement (which
includes
all personal data) would end up with an
individual if I understand
correctly. It would only add quite a lot of costs...
