Maybe everyone should start off with a disk containing their DNA already in their inventory, similar to Sec? (Unless they opt out with a trait or something) You don't have to get scanned, but you do have to make arrangements for it to get to Genetics and for them to manage that for you.
Maybe you hide your disk under the floor somewhere, maybe you mail it to genetics, maybe you leave it with a friend or bribe someone to take it to them in the case of death. If you ever lose your disk, they can of course scan you to upload to a new disk.
Maybe the disks act as a kind of authentication system, and you can have more DNA locked devices and mechanics around the station, where you need a copy of the disk inserted somewhere else to be added to a whitelist. The Captain's authentication disk just becomes a disk with their DNA saved on it
