The new Post Office EasyID app makes collecting parcels and letters a whole lot easier. UK residents can now leave their passports and other ID pieces at home and use this convenient app instead. The Post Office EasyID app works by verifying an individual's identity using a passport, driver's license, or another ID card. Once the ID is verified, the app uses [facial recognition software](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iris-id) to create a [digital photo identification card](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passport-photoid). The ID is secured using biometrics and a PIN code.
