when the "licence" is produced as a proof of age in a bar, how is the
barman (or woman) going to be able to check on the database?

Theres an app for that

FFS if you can run a credit card in a second or two, how long to run an
ID card?

cash only at the bar I'm responible for. And believe it or not, a credit
card machine is designed to talk to the credit card company.

And an ID machine will be designed to talk to the central ID computer
system.
