Facial recognition and AI is the way to go. We know cameras don't lie but can be augmented or edited. Basic systems are real most people are too simple minded to realize...Real recognize real...and real also recognizes fake as well. Live your life correctly trust only those who respect you as much as you can give it in return.

100 % approved to verify Identity
January 24, 2025

My experience with ID Me was extremely good. I was able to follow the prompts to scan my documents through the camera from a mobile device. My phone number was utilized to verify I was the owner of the phone number and email by providing security codes for the next level of security. Once all my documents were uploaded it took less than an hour to successfully link my benefit site to my data.
