In many funtioning countries with rules of law, the ability to authenticate birth certificates, IDs and Passports is still being bottled neck within few government agencies.

If a country become a failed state or the capital is overrun, then those documents could be forged directly from the temporary government officials printing machines in the capital.

This is a single point of failure.

Redundancy of regional and central databases of Birth and Death Certifications, Passports and IDs are essential as well as ownership certifications of major assets like houses and cars.
