What do I need to verify my ID?

Ugh, verifying my ID – what a hassle, right? Seriously, what do they need? My driver's license is usually the first thing, which is, you know, whatever. But then it's always the Social Security number – it just feels so wrong, handing that over! Like, I get it, it's for verification, but it feels incredibly invasive. Remember that time I tried to order that fancy new phone online? They wanted everything – SSN, address, even my mom's maiden name! I nearly cancelled the whole order. It's not just the SSN, either; they often want a phone number and full address too. It's like, are they building a detailed profile of me? I mean, I hope it's secure, but you just never know, do you? It’s a necessary evil, I guess. But, honestly, it still makes me super nervous. It's one thing to show my license, but my whole life story? Not so much.
