I'm based in Australia and had to do this early shortly before the teen social media ban came into place here.

I chose the face scan option as I simply don't trust most providers when it comes to uploading my ID. Countless data breaches have happened over the years where driver's license and passport details have been stolen from databases.

For those unaware, a driver's license is often referred to as the "golden ticket" for identity thieves. A single license usually contains all the information needed to open credit in that person's name.

Yes, they will claim their process is super secure, and they take security seriously. But then again, they all say that.
