WAY faster than I expected!
April 13, 2023

I was able to use my State Issued Driver's license to verify and since I always carry it on me it was fast! I thought I might have to wait a day or so before I could use it, but other than the time I took to enter the info and take a selfie it was less than 30 seconds until it was approved! You can't beat that!

Easier than you think!
April 13, 2023

The process is easy and the use of biometrics gave me a stronger sense of security during the verification process. That's important when it comes to the impact identity theft can have on your life.

Terrible Idea
May 13, 2023

While the government claims this is secure, we all know that the internet is not a safe place for identification or personal details. Anything can be accessed and criminals have proven that in the past and they will continue to do so in the future. I was definitely put at a risk by being forced to use this program.

Don't get overwhelmed think it going to be a hassle to submit your application. Just follow the steps that they have lined up with the process. When you reach the point to video a live agent, you can now breathe.
