We have a new app which is very important to back up your passport and other documents in a secure environment on your phone
You download it and use it to take photos of your documents
You should store your family members documents and have them store yours
You can also prove your identity remotely if you take a photo of your phone bill showing your name and phone number
We can verify to anyone you need to prove your identity to (such as the consulate if your passport was stolen)
We provide you a certificate which you can email with your documents, which proves that we sent a verification code to your phone number
The party who is seeking to confirm your identity can verify the certificate is genuine at our website
They can see that the phone number on the certificate matches the phone number on your bill
They can thus link you and the phone number and they can see your identity documents
They now can be certain that the only person who can generate this certificate is you (because someone who steals your phone cannot use your thumbprint to enter this app.)
They can then either contact you by text or phone to your number or by email to the account which sent them the certificate (which is your email account.)
Then if they are a bank providing you funds they can release the funds or if they are the US embassy or consulate they can be sure of your identity and will be able to help you
This certificate is not limited to international travel so we would encourage you to add your driving license and car and medical insurances as well as your phone bill right now. You can also add utility statements to show proof of address.
