What about if CASA decided to revamp the licence similar to a drivers licence and include a photo? Once upon a time the old licences had a picture of the holder inside the front cover......
The whole folder back then could fit in your shirt pocket - not anymore!!

What about CASA issue a credit card or ASIC size licence similar to the US licence.
Use Tech to store your data as your passport now does, with a Photo as your ASIC does.
It could also have a swipe function to open gates to GA tarmac's which could record who,
when and how people were entering or leaving that space.
A boost for security? I also suggested that function for an ASIC, would save an MRO's time
to come and let you out, or in.
Then again being CASA they would probably have to charge a couple of grand for it, renewable
every month with a surcharge to alter Data, they would probably have to employ another 1500 people
to oversight it and add another 50 cents a litre surcharge to fuel to cover that.
Sorry bad idea.

First world problems here.
THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN IN PAKISTAN !!!
Would you be happier if CASA required you to provide them a photograph every 2 years under CASR 61.336 and attached that to the medical record?
If all this is about safety and security, CASA must ensure that an identical sibling doesn’t show up for his brother’s medical examination. Photo ID and ARN aren’t going to stop that. Surely that requires DNA tests and records.
And CASA must put systems in place to ensure that someone does not ‘sub in’ to do blood tests and ECGs and other tests. Surely that requires an FOI or other bureaucrat accompanying certificate applicants to those tests. But what if the applicant is secretly carrying samples provided by someone else, that can be substituted behind the toilet door? Surely that requires strip and cavity searches.
(Imagine if someone who doesn’t meet the medical standard is flying around out there in a C172. Imagine the damage that could be done! This ID/medical certification issue demands further measures and the collection of more records by CASA. This is about the safety of air navigation, after all.)
I realise that some people get a great deal of comfort - some even feel extra special - as a consequence of all these kinds of processes. It’s all a part of the mystique of aviation. But the processes only inconvenience the law-abiding (and create busy-work for an expanding bureaucracy). The people who want to get around them will always get around them.

Frankly an ear tag or barcode tattoo would solve this hugely important problem but even this doesn’t go far enough.
After all people do burglaries All the time to steal the keys of aircraft just so they can take joy flights. what we need is an inbuilt DNA scanner in every aircraft because nobody can steal your DNA, Oh wait......
‘’Don’t we have a stupid solution to a non existent problem’?
