Well then the burden lies on the KYC websites to actually verify the details? If someone uploads documents, I hope you verify them with the issuing authority, otherwise it's not really KYC is it? Photoshop has existed for a while now....
- lxgr 3y agoI don't think there's even an interface to check anything with the issuing authority (i.e. one of 50 DMVs) in the US.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoWhich is getting to the root of the problem. That governments should provide identify verification tools as a service.
- lxgr 3y agoA good idea in principle, but that only works in countries where the majority of citizens trust their government with important and difficult tasks like that. Given how political a topic IDs are in the US even in their physical/offline variant, I'm not holding my breath for that.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoThey’re not political at all in the US. They’re called passports, and nobody has a problem with them (as far as I know). No one has to force anyone to use it, but that’s their problem if they want to inconvenience themselves by having to prove their identity in person rather than use an API provided by the USPS (since they already do identity verification for passports).
