Pain

Super difficult to scan the chip. Kept failing despite following instructions

Ken Gordon

This process for Government ID is far simpler than it used to be

Okay

To many hooo

Terrible

Struggling to understand how to use this and I am an IT professional. Not sure if it’s the worst UX imaginable or something has gone wrong.

Passport

Useless procedure using passport the app changes birth date from 19xx to 20xx so i am not yet born !! wasted time after 3 attempts had to use driving license another botched job for what purpose

Awful app

Government gateway now require me to use this app to verify my identity with my passport biometric chip, it will not pick up the chip. USELESS

Sir

Very easy to use service πŸ‘πŸ½

Gov check

So easy to use

Ridiculously poor service

The worst I have ever encountered and the support is even worse

G Clutterbuck

Does not work

Still ghastly

What a shocking waste of time. I have lost days trying to get this rotten thing to work. Scan a QR code? What QR code

Frustrating

Absolute rubbish. Flashing lights horrible and useless if your phone won’t scan your biochip in passport. Had to go through it multiple times this year.

Really quick and efficient

Happy with it

Cross

I hate that I am forced to scan my face

ID theft with no recovery

Who will have multiple id used due this beta?

Simple

Easy to use

Easier than expected

I thought the process would be fraught with difficulty but it was very easy with clear, easy to follow, instructions.

Painful passport scan

It really was, for no good reason, it took about twenty attempts for it to eventually scan

I’m 73 and a stressed carer

I am not enjoying this brave new world at all. I just want to pay what I owe from my efforts renting part of my home to augment my pension.
Why does everything have to be so complicated?

How many times do you need my id

This app is shocking. Everytime I use it I have to photo my id.
