Fast and convenient
November 17, 2022

Great site but time consuming. Definitely worth the time to fill out what was needed. When done, I had all my tax information from past years. Would have never been able to locate without this site!

There are so many problems I encountered with this problem, I don't even know where to begin. To start with, the website is horrendously designed. There were so many times that I had no option to click to go to the next step. It happened over and over and over again to the point that I was incredibly nervous when I finally got to the video verification call. Prior to that, I had tried to put in my information no fewer than 5 times and had spent upwards of 4 hours trying to put everything in. I acknowledge that when I initially placed my passport photo, you could not see all 4 corners. But the process to get a new photo in was incredibly arduous due to a malfunctioning glitchy website. I rarely place customer reviews, and truly am generally satisfied by company websites. This was a different story and I cannot say enough just how poor this entire process was.

Persistence pays off
November 17, 2022

Even though I failed with several attempts to complete the process, I persisted and in less than a few minutes was successfully ID'd. At every attempt I was well informed and efficiently guided through the process to re-submit application. I feel confident my personal information is safe guarded. All the instructions were clear and concise. I was not at anytime overwhelmed with too much information. This was a satisfying experience obtaining verification of identity for a much needed service.
