When folks come into the shop without their cards, we simply look them up using "Dive Chek". If they are in the system, all certifications will be available for the shop to view. It may not work for everybody all the time, but it is an option. Granted, there may be some operators without internet access.
If they do not want to replace their lost or missing card, so be it. Their certification can still be verified.

"PADI Members may better serve customers who have left their PADI certification card at home or have misplaced it, by verifying their certification using Dive Chek® Online."
