    Now so many things require an app or online sign-up.

    US? Not here. And online signups (if no online service) provide an alternative way.

      Sadly here a huge amount of government is entirely online. Even 4 years ago when I wanted to do my passsport, because of my age bracket, I was not allowed to use a paper or internet method. I HAD to use a web app, and then with the app someone had to take a photo of me for the picture. No “send a photo in” no email the photo.

      It couldn’t be your normal passport photo eaither, full waist up photo, with full white background and neutral lighting… It was completely impossible.

        Workaround for their stone-age face recognition software.
