Little tardy to the party, but it's done.

Super easy on mobile, although my phone/browser opened it in a tiny window. It didn't stop me from doing it though.

Pretty slick considering my DL is 7 years old and bears little resemblance to present day me.

Yep worked well with my old DL. Though I suppose my appearance hasn't changed too much! Used Firefox/Win with no trouble.

@freitasm - out of curiosity, what information would be able to be gained by Police etc. for this new verification method and by using which processes? Would they submit a request to you or the processor? Would it require a Warrant or could information be provided using an emergency Information Request (say for situations where there was imminent risk to a persons welfare)? As WithPersona hold the verification data would a request be made to them or would GZ facilitate it?

 

I only ask as this is something I have been involved with and it would be useful to know where GZ stands on this.

Apologies for my poor choice of words. I used my current license which is over 8 years old and expiring in 2022. So old-ish but not expired.

Please can I be added to the verification system beta?

Also how do you become trusted? I have been a member for over 10 yrs.

Thanks @michaelmurfy - since I now live in Hawkes Bay, that is hard unless I travel to a main centre!

I did go to a pizza event many moons ago at a cafe in Auckland. Perhaps I should have said something back then..
