Ultimately, authentication of this kind is very hard when the person being authenticated is the attacker. If there are reliable government records, requiring these be presented (if allowed) is probably a good start.
Proper training of security staff is also critical to ensure that they perform a thorough check regardless of the possibility of conflict. ...

The best you can really do is use ATMs you know or ATMs that have good physical security if one you know isn't available. (go to an ATM inside a bank). Even then, I always spot check the machine for any signs of tampering.
A simple trick that can work well is to make sure the keypad isn't compromised (by looking and pulling on it) and then if it appears ...

AJ Henderson has the right solution IMHO. To expand on his approach here are the basics:
There has to be a security briefing for invigilators explaining the various ways that official government ID can be checked. They should be warned that your company will stage fake impersonations to test their attention.
Invigilators who would check IDs have to be ...
