ReneƩ helped me today. She was super helpful and friendly. The connection was bad on my end but she was patient and made sure she got done what I needed. Thank you so much for such a pleasant experience. I wish all dealings online were this simple!
I used this to validate using a mix of my desktop, phone, and biometric scans with the phone camera. Overall, it worked quite well, and no "moments of panic." Good job with a very difficult process.
