It was a great experience. This may cause some delay but it's worth it to prevent fraud. The staff will guide you all throughout. The instructions are simple and clear.

The site sucks
August 30, 2022

If you want to waste a lot of time uploading documents it "clearly" states are acceptable on their site, go for it. I've wasted most of my morning changing formats ie pdf to jpeg, their site doesn't like pdf.
Clearly our government had picked a company to use that works as well as they do!

Frustrating
August 31, 2022

When your 84 yrs old computers are very frustrating and when you talk to someone about it, it doesn't solve the problem. An office should be set up for people like us or take information over the phone, I eventually had to ask a young neighbor to help me.
