Epassporte Help?

[F That]

I am trying to get the epassporte Visa Card but it keeps saying <font color="red">"You cannot buy a Visa Card unless you have a verified load mechanism associated with your account" </font>

What do i have to do? Do i have to send them something?

You need to add a credit card or add your bank account info.

I have used the visa gift cards from wallgreens to deposit and i do not have a bank account for myself since i only turned 18 a month ago... eek what should i do? Should i send in a photo ID and a picture of the visa card?

Seriously, take $5 and just go open a checking account at some local credit union. Then verify that account with EPass.

If you're still not convinced call Epassporte.

You give them your checking account information and they make two deposits into your account (tiny ones, like ten cents apiece). In a few business days, you call Customer Service at your bank and ask them to tell you what the amounts of those deposits are. You go back to ePassporte, log in, click the "Verify" button and put the amounts of the deposits into the appropriate slots. Then, you tell them how much you want to upload, and then you wait some more.

I'm going through the process myself right now. From start to finish it's about two and a half weeks--half of it waiting for the deposits to show up in your bank account and half for waiting for your money to go from the bank to ePassporte.
