Well, no one. You rely on the ability of the signer to distinguish between a real ID-card and a fake ID-card. Of course, not everyone can spot a well-crafted fake ID (I certainly cannot).
I cannot either, and that's why i like the mentioned german Governikus CA. To obtain a sig3 from them it requires that you authenticate online with you id-card, an id-card reader and the german AusweisApp2 software.
