Fast & simple
April 16, 2023

No problems, was really easy to complete. Thought it would be a lot more and a little difficult, with documents and such, but, everything went smoothly. Super simple & fast.

Terrible coding
May 16, 2023

I verified my identification but continued to get stuck in the 2001 error loop. I followed their vague steps for troubleshooting to get past that error to no avail. This website needs to be coded better.

Extremely frustrating
May 16, 2023

Extremely frustrating experience that took up most of a day to complete. The rep I talked with could not hear me and I could not understand him most of the time. I consider myself to be computer-literate but this really tested all my skills and patience. If I had to do it again I would allow myself at least a half day to get thru the process.
