Note to self, never take a selfie while holding my ID, negotiate some other means of remote identity verification.

Tell that to Carvana. This is their method of identification when they deliver a car. I told them I would just show the driver my license when he got here. Nope, they wouldn't do that.

Terrible company IMO. I ended up not doing a transaction with them and they wouldn't delete my data from their systems. Companies are just asking to be hacked when the store all this unnecessary data for people who are not even their customers.

That seems like good advice in general.

Not to mention that it's somewhat pointless as a method of verification in the first place since you can't exactly check the validity of an ID in a grainy selfie.

Thanks for sharing the link, that is very close to what I was looking for - even a bit more comprehensive than I expected.
