> because I'm pretty sure SSNs aren't remotely designed to be checked for authenticity. I haven't been on the verifier side of this, but I did have a neighbor participate in a passport verification system for a new remote hire job, as the verifier. According to him, there was some basic information listed about how to verify it was an authentic US passport. It'll be curious if we see a move to more forgery-resistant documentation being used for KYC (e.g. passport, RealID DL, etc), coupled with in-person verification (even if something like lawyer-drops-by or go-to-notary).
