RealMe - "Safe, secure and officially backed by the government"

[Naki Rat]

Received an email today perporting to be from the Department of Internal Affairs about a new secure online ID system that the gubbermint is launching, and since verified during a call to NZ Post. The system is called RealMe (https://www.realme.govt.nz/) and will provide people who register with it proof of identity online. Just give them your details then go down to your local Post Shop so they can photograph you....... :not: That will be the fuckin day :wacko:

[mashman]

It's for your own security and it's govt approved. What's the issue?

The Companies office already use it -> look to the right side (http://www.business.govt.nz/companies/)

Good luck getting a passport then.
And to be fair, none of the information asked for is anymore than you have to disclose for a passport.


Are you hiding summat?:laugh:

If it means I can renew my passport online and attach my own pic I'm all for it.

I just renewed mine using it.
Apart from a couple of false starts with the pic, it was really easy.

I have had one since it became mandatory to do Companies Office stuff. it was called iGovt previously.

Probably a good buy when they privatise it:devil2:

It will be included as a part of the ACC sell off

...it was called iGovt previously.

Isn't the lowercase "i" meant to mean "intelligent"?


No wonder they had to change the name!:rofl:

[Akzle]

ahhh.
Legal Persons.

Fuck that shit. Just get a persons data implanted on an rfid chip, secure as.

That would explain the source of my email. Adding a photo to the mix is an added level though... Just have to wear a tin foil hat for that occasion :blink:

[Thaeos]

Government likely has all the details on you already anyway, somewhere else. Not saying I like the idea.

You've been able to for ages

In comparison to what we do have it sadly is.
Of course this just means they will dig up bodies.......

[Akzle]

a person is only a corporate body.
Fucked if i know what it has to do with the meat suit.

Out of interest, do you have a Facebook/Twitter/Google+ account? Do you use your EFTPOS card for most transactions? If the answer to one or either of these is yes, you're too late to worry about your privacy =P

Using the Dept of Internal Affairs website, births, deaths and marriages for researching non historical bdm's requires a 'Realme' id.

I tried mine yesterday but it wouldn't accept my password. Will ph them tomorrow. I have seen nothing about a photo requirement, ( yet ).

I have four copies of my drivers licence because I returned from over seas and had to renew as I worked back through the different classes I held before letting them lapse " at home" while over seas.
The photo on each is different to the others.
It makes no difference to gov't spying but it gives the local plods something to wank on about when I refuse to up date just for them.
That alone is worth it,,,,fucking clowns know who I am anyway.
