Among its initiatives, the IRS is now issuing ID theft victims special Identity Protection Personal Identification Numbers (IP PINs), that allow them to distinguish themselves from the fraudsters and get their tax refunds processed.
The process for registering with M-Pesa is very straightforward: it requires a PIN and an official form of identification (a passport or a national ID card) but there is no need for a bank account or a home address.
American voters find it perfectly reasonable to ask voters for a photo ID, and they understand that some official form of identification is the norm for voting throughout the world.

Provisional ballots are issued in Ohio when voters lack proper identification or are using the last four digits of a Social Security number as proof of ID.
Beebe's spokesman Matt DeCample said those costs would come in "establishing and distributing a new ID card as required by the law, " adding the state would be prohibited from charging for the new voter identification cards under the proposed legislation.
