The use of technology was impressive and worked well. The link to scan my face using the selfie technique blew me away. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. It was a timely experience, not too long, not too short, just right. I also like the repeated validation checks and communication that the verification is underway.
My person was Larissa R. She was very kind and helpful and she made me feel like I got all my information done in a comfortable hassle free way!
