I don’t see why they would bother with physical tokens nor would they be popular - things like passports are really quite expensive to manage and largely unecessary these days. An app or identity on people’s phone might be a good stopgap.

However I suspect biometric methods of id verification will render carrying anything redundant long term.

The databases for digital id already exist, they’re just not fully utilised yet and these databases will always be centralised.
