What process are other companies using?

Amazon Developer sent me an email about this recently. They supported:

* Passport

* Identity Card

* Driver's License

It rejected my Driver's License and I gave up after that.

At least in the UK it would be entirely legal for companies to use account age as a proxy for verifying you're over the age of 18. If your Apple account is over 18 then you probably are as well.
Apple verified my account that very way this morning!
