[NFBCS] ID.me

[Curtis Chong]

Hi Tracy:

I did the whole id.me thing. Aira helped me to create JPG files of the front and back of my ID, and when I went through the process with the IRS, I requested a video session through which the 'person on the other end compared my face in the video with the picture on the ID JPG that I had uploaded.

All of this is done using your smartphone.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

I am trying to get an account on ID.me so I can deal with various government agencies. It requires me to take pictures of the front and back of my non-driver ID using a link they will send to my phone.
How can I do that?  Do I need to hunt up a sighted person?  I hate to bother my neighbors for stuff like this.  Is there a way to do this on my own?
I have AIRA, but I don’t think they can be on the phone and see what’s on another link on my phone.
Help!
 
This is not what I call accessible, as a government site is required to be.
Tracy
