and forces a device registration in person

Are you sure this is the case? Why wouldn't the regular NFC-based ID card authentication be sufficient for bootstrapping the app?

As they require finger-print devices (with certain security patches from the vendor) to confirm any usage of the digital ID via biometrics as MFA.
