This process is very simple, they have a wide variety of documents you can use to prove your identity. After gathering and uploading the documents, the phone call process was less than 2 minutes.

Needed Help
April 27, 2023

I am a Senior with very basic computer knowledge and skills so I knew that I would need help so I had someone with me on the phone. Thankfully one of my sons was home and he was able to do the picture uploading for me 'cause I was lost. So I suggest lining up the help before you go online and they can assist you along your way.

I wish they'd send a better explanation on why I had to be reviewed or Id?! The process was a bit tedious sending pictures back and forth and the approval / response time was way too long! Hopping out of ID is easy logging back in for updates very time consuming! Just to be told this process will take another four weeks!
