I think there are very few areas of business that haven’t been affected by this virus

Having the photograph taken at Citizens Service Centre also authenticates the ID process and the photograph is kept on a central computerised file.
On two occasions ten years apart for two entirely different reasons I was issued with one document that had the photograph glued to it and the other had the photograph stapled on it, so I welcome the digital era.

I don’t really understand this. Citizens Service Centres, Immigration and Transport Office have been doing their own photos for years now. Nothing to do with Covid-19.

I'm with galexinda here.
My husband's Cypriot driving licence looks like he made it himself! In fact he would have been better to have done just that, it would be in a lot better condition.
