That's certainly true in many cases, but not always.   For those folks
that do an offline verification of state-issued drivers license/photo ID's,
they provide a relatively solid anchor for authentication.  Again, this
doesn't imply anything about authorization, but you've at least got a
strong basis for believing that you are dealing with person so named.
