It’s the validation bit that’s difficult, for most countries you can’t automate the process, it would need a human being to validate the request.

That was my point. Technical part is not problem, but administration. I am quite certain that it will never be possible to get worldwide call-sign validation working beyond manual documents inspection.
I do agree that having one global validation service that offers API's for various purposes and platforms would be great, even if that means that manual paperwork is involved.
