Identity check for unemployment keeps failing - 4 months and counting

I was asked to verify my identity and the site keeps rejecting my photo ID. It has been a long 10 weeks. I tried the online option twice and the app crashed. Do I need an appointment?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 4 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

What worked for me was going to the local workforce centre, where staff helped with the verification. It took about an hour.
