I'll certify you're Bitcoin by trusting a signed message from your private key.
Is it any wonder people are so disengaged and do not trust politicians....
No worries. People pounced on you because it is vitally important that nobody take these sorts of proposals seriously. Otherwise regulators might think that this sort of change is a viable option (it is not), or politicians outlaw currencies which do not include such provisions, making life insanely difficult for everyone here.
... it only ensures that an address is certified ...
If you control which addresses are allowed and/or selectively withhold approving signatures, then you control which transactions may be processed. If you control which transactions may be processed, how can it not be said that you control the bitcoin economy? You get the set the rules because no one else can do business without making transactions. (This is not to mention all the other things which would break. Bitcoin does not use addresses internally.)
It's like, I don't know, a space station where one company controls the air. Yeah, controlling the air doesn't mean you control what goes on inside the station. But if you have the ability to turn off someone's air...
Wow right, so I'm the one at fault here. Not you, proposing something that would totally change the fundamentals of bitcoin forever.
You arrogant little shit.
There are no technical discussions to be had beyond this point, Mr. 'activity 6 Newbie' - like 4chan says, lurk moar and learn how not to be a dick.

Marley, just fuck off with your ideas of centralisation. First it was Mike Hearn and his passport bullshit, now this.
The fundamentals of bitcoin are decentralisation and zero-trust. If you can't work within those simple parameters, look elsewhere or create a new coin.

About the newbie section...
Really though it helps to be familiar with bitcoin and the way things like this are dealt with prior to suggesting something that significantly changes it. You should set up an alt-coin using these ideas and then see if the alt-coin or bitcoin becomes "mainstream" first. You know the outcome, so you'll be a hero and then you can tell those who said F-off that you were right. Let us know when this alt-coin is ready for mining.

This would turn bitcoin into govcoin. We do not want.
This idea sucks big time.
This proposal would destroy bitcoin entirely, handing over the reigns of the entire bitcoin economy to one or more trusted (ha!) authorities. @justusranvier's response is totally appropriate: fuck off.
Fuck off.
