They spam you.
April 23, 2025

Spammed me non-stop after using this for something. Had no other choice but to use it. Also requires at least 100 characters.

You have to do it.
April 23, 2025

You have no other choice. Own a smartphone w/ a good camera and lots of spare memory space to download Zoom or whatever app this for profit agency are pushing at the time. Jump thru hoops to prove that you are worthy or be unable to access government services. This is just a barrier to access basic services.

Easy As Pie
April 23, 2025

The whole process was painless and went extremely smoothly and just takes under 5 minutes. Considering that this is for our own security especially in this digital scam age, I was happy to do it and expected a lot more difficulty and time than it actually took, so I would highly recommend it.

They lie about re-verification
April 23, 2025

You have to hand over your biometric data in addition to your contact info and government documentation. Everytime. They claim it's like barely more work than setting up a password but it's not true. I hate that they've wriggled themselves into bed with essential government agencies like the IRS and established themselves as the gatekeepers to essential citizen services with no alternative means of online accessibility.

American verification.
April 23, 2025

It is super important to have some sort of verification, which has an ID who can identify you are an American citizen. I strongly recommend that you get this completed. It'll protect your identity in the future because there are so many hackers and thieves out there.

Easy to set up and use but...
April 23, 2025

How can we possibly know our data is secure? Are the latest protocols employing the latest and most robust state of the art technology, etc. in place to protect us? Of course they will tell us our data is safe. But being that so much personal data is being stored on such a platform, we should at the very least be skeptical. Nothing is 100% impermeable.

In order to prove to the government who you are, you have to give all your data to this third party. Not only do they want a picture of your ID, they want a video selfie. Why would they need to store this data? And the video uploaded returned error messages 4 times. We shouldn't have to do all this just to interact with a government agency.
