When a user reuses a previously saved government ID is that ID decrypted and sent in plaintext to your service? (Ie. does your service see the ID in plaintext every time a user uses the service?)

Do you use zero-knowledge proofs in any way?

the service doesn't see the document itself on subsequent verifications but it does receive a signed verification payload containing derived fields in plaintext currently. No ZK proofs at this stage but agreed it would be a great future improvement!
