Yes. The previous arrangement was pretty much security theatre. I
emailed a scan of my driver's licence - it was genuine (OMG, the
Foundation know where I live!), but constructing a plausible fake
would have been ridiculously easy for pretty much anyone.

What is the threat model the new arrangement is intended to address?
This needs to be explained.
