Why does peerfly require photo ID to join?
I was asked for photo ID, either a drivers license or a passport. I own neither of these and asked if I could send other forms of ID instead. I was denied because I can't provide the required ID.
Their reasons are to avoid fraud. Or so they say. I don't get this, because a fake drivers license or passport can be purchased and faked just as easy as a bank card, birth certificate or utility bills.
If somebody wants to gain access to something and fraud a system they will do it anyway, regardless of what protections are in place. At the end of the day the fraudster risks prison time and loss of earnings, plus a lawsuit. That's not something I'm interested in doing lol.
It's not an issue as I can continue to use my other networks. It's just puzzling how companies believe a passport or drivers license is proof you're that person. Maybe in the US checks can be done, but I'm in the UK and those sorts of checks can't be done unless you're a police officer or a person of authority.
I work in security for my day job. It's more of a risk to be storing passports and drivers licenses on a server than it is to rely on them as a form of ID over the internet.
