The government gives a signed document to natural persons, and the ZK system proves that the document is signed by the government. Bots don't have passports or driver's licenses.

How does the government guarantee that the natural person is such? Various jurisdictions will decide what's good enough, but as a strawman proposal, you go in person to city hall once and upload a document to your phone.






That might prove the token itself is legit, but still doesn't prevent a bot from using it, right?
