Read and follow the directions!
November 29, 2023

My experience was easy. You must carefully read the directions so you get through the process effortlessly. When it ask for access to folder, accept so the agent can proceed with completing your verification

ID is the best way to secure your ID
November 29, 2023

Regardless of what others may say about security on the web this is the next step in actual security. I'd highly recommend that this be utilized more often by more people to truly make the web safer

Wasted time taking photos of my ID and doing live video confirmation, all successful, only to be blocked from accessing the actual SS site (the reason I was forced to use this "service"). Now they have all my biometric data and I got nothing. Ripoff,I feel violated.

Regular servicio
December 6, 2023

Fue necesario utilizarla. En el ultimo momento obtuve respuesta en El Paso final de videollamada, la parte engorrosa y tardada fue presentar el documento bancario, entender porque no lo aceptaban, una y otra vez. Encontrarme con que querían que ese documento tuviera no sólo el nombre y dirección igual a las declaraciones, además querían que presentara completo el SS o ITIN y eso en un documento bancario no está.

No easy to complete
December 6, 2023

Trying to scan myself. Was not easy to complete.
Don't know why/ Perhaps I was not doing it right, even I was following the instruction.

It's OK. Only do this once a year. I can cope with that.
