Scanning of ID documents such as driver’s licence is common in Australia as well, including at most, if not all, clubs (which, let’s be honest have links to the underworld via gambling machines). Fortunately, banks and official institutions require 100 pts of identification and a licence by itself is not enough.

Still, if your driver’s licence is scanned for whatever reason, you ought to find out what happens to the scan and who has access to it down the line… do you bother to find out? I haven’t, so far…
