I tried going through this procedure a few days ago. The "selfie scan" felt very invasive, and I really wonder how effective it is. I renewed my expired driver's license online, so I didn't get a new photo. The picture from the license that the selfie scan was going off of was a highschool-era photo of me with no beard. It said it was a match though.
I had to use my laptop for the scan since when I was trying it on my phone, it kept telling me that it couldn't find any face.
In the end, I couldn't get verified because I just moved, and all my identification has my old address.
- dhosek 5y agoThe face identification software in the Apple Photo software was able to correctly identify pictures of my cousins when they were 5 & 7 years old even though all the other photos I have of them in Photos are in their 50s or later. I have no doubt that there are some failed matches (false negatives/positives), but it generally does pretty well, even with my identical-twin brothers. Given that this is consumer-grade stuff and Apple isn't usually considered best of class, presumably the system run for the IRS is better.
- novok 5y agoBig tech is probably best in class due to total engineering effort and data sets devoted to it compared to something relatively small like id.me . FB, Google & Apple are probably some of the best of the world outside of stuff by the Chinese gov't and their contractors.
