"Living in New York and needing to verify my identity for HMRC was a nightmare until I used this app. It completely removed the need to mail my physical passport across the Atlantic or visit a consulate. The face scan and biometric chip reading were incredibly smooth, saving me weeks of administrative stress."
"Finally, a government service that feels modern and efficient. Being based in San Francisco, managing my UK pension usually involves endless paperwork, but this identity check was finished in minutes. It is secure, fast, and remarkably easy to use. Highly recommended for any expat living abroad."
