@CordiallyChloe @SeanCasten The UK does that. They'll even help you take the photo!
"You’ll be asked for:
a digital photo of yourself ...
your National Insurance number
You can still apply if you do not have a National Insurance number. You’ll need to provide other documents to prove your identity, for example a birth certificate, bank statement and utility bill.
If you need help taking a photo, contact your electoral registration office."
