> for example disallowing blocking/removing someone’s id

If I lose my passport I am obliged to call the police so that they revoke it, if I lose my phone with my digital ID on it they also need to be able to revoke that ID.

Sure, I meant disabling without replacement, making someone an unperson. Obviously updates and replacements would be required as with passports.

I don’t think governments should be allowed to do that. They do it with passports and I think it’s deeply wrong but also it would be far more damaging and immediate with a digital id (which will inevitably be used for a lot of services) - similar to being refused a bank account.
