Easy Process
June 28, 2024

I was able to send my information with my phone via photos and the process of video recognition was easy also. This saved me time and a lot of aggravation, regarding traffic, long lines and waiting.

Easy
June 28, 2024

Extremely easy to use as long as you realize you need your phone and your login device at the same time. You take pictures of your ID with your phone you upload them and then you're ready to go on your computer. I was surprised at all the information they had access to

Avoid if at all possible.
June 27, 2024

I spent approximately 10 hours spread over several days, trying to understand and navigate the poorly written explanations and instructions. Then my computer based daughter spent almost 2 hours to repeat everything I'd done with the same results. She encouraged me to try visual affirmation of credentials, which was the only part of this that worked, but not because it was clearly presented. The video rep was very nice and helpful. God bless her because she works for idiots.

It took multiple times to reload pics and the video selfy looks like a cartoon. This process should be seamless but it isn't. Time consuming and difficult is my best description.

No online database is 100% secure. You do not know where your ID is being stored or who has the key. In all security systems, and data base applications, someone always has the key.
