@Deus @mastodonindians This extra ID verification shit exists only in US and India btw. In US, it is _any_ government ID. In India, only Aadhar.
And some fellow in Nairobi/Kenya is probably doing the verification of the uploaded file.

@Deus I totally missed the fact that it’s not Aadhar _authentication_ , meaning LinkedIn doesn’t speak with Aadhar’s systems. It’s Aadhar _verification_, meaning LinkedIn only checks if the uploaded PDF somehow fits in the Aadhar format.

Makes it even worse, doesn’t it.
