In practice, I’ve found it variable.
Drivers licenses are a lifetime thing: no need to renew every X years, because it’s not your photo ID.
Another thing they do well (from a US/Canadian point of view) is identify their people.
It’s all national: very little is state by state or city by city.
Need a birth certificate or police report? Just sign in with your national ID and they’re in your mailbox in under a week.
None of this North American garbage where you need to provide fingerprints or further details because you share a birth date with a criminal or have the same name as someone else born somewhere else on the same day.
And when claiming a tax credit, that should make it straight forward, because it will be difficult to make the claim multiple times by varying your demographics.
Tax returns are bloody simple if you’re a non-billionaire: log in and verify that, yes, the information that the government already has about your income and housing situation is correct and click Accept. Done.
More Difficult to cheat on your rental property taxes since every property needs to be declared as an own-use or income property, with further details required for the latter.
