Yet another scenario where we're collectively being bitten in the ass because most of the world is still lacking a proper digital identity system. If you're thinking that sending pictures of identity documents or bills is going to fix it no, it's clown-tier identity verification and will just postpone the issue a tiny bit with massive human resource cost and false negatives. |

I remember learning this when I got my first code signing certificate. I had to jump through a TON of hoops including sending notarized copies of my ID to Comodo. After all that, they asked ME to send them a list of notaries for my jurisdiction. They also wanted a direct line to call the notary I used which is basically impossible to provide.
The verification is outsourced to the cheapest English speaking 3rd world country they can find and there's ZERO localized knowledge. I don't think you could build a system that's worse if you tried. The whole think is just a process of checking boxes which is very similar to most of the 2FA systems in existence.
