Moreover, the security of a birth cert is questionable, to say the
least. Birt certs are public information in many jurisdictions, for
example I should be able to get a copy of anyone's birth certificate
here, with little effort.

My point here is that the End User is applying for IP addresses or ASNs,
not a large mortgage or the nuclear launch codes.
The bureaucratic effort neccessary should be *proportional* to the goal.

The NCC has the authority to de-register resources anyway, should an
identity prove to be fraudulent after the fact.
