I put in a credit card application for Bilt and they want address and id verification via fax. They really want me to send a fax apparently
Most of my documents are virtual now, and I don’t have a fax machine. I see that on Google play there are a variety of apps for sending faxes. Is this a good option to go through? Or should I print stuff and find a library with a fax machine
The comments here in relation to the arcane nature of fax machines might not be aware that often this relates to legal requirements to receive physical proof.
Interestingly, nobody has to my knowledge challenged the wisdom of this requirement in court. At the end of the day, there is no real way to prove your identity using either a letter or a fax.
Using email, you could exchange an electronic key in person and know that the sender has the agreed key. Note that it still doesn’t prove the identity of the sender.
