It does what it's supposed to
October 14, 2022

But it ain't easy. The first step didn't work so had to do a video call. Uploading the photos of IDs was time consuming especially when you have to do it twice because their system sucks. My "referee", which is a stupid thing to call them, did a good job and was professional and courteous.
