You said it happened twice. I haven't yet had to face this level of intrusiveness, but I fear that it's coming for all of us. May I ask what companies these were? If you don't want to name the exact companies, could you say the general purpose (opening a bank account, buying or selling real estate, incorporating a business, etc.)? Also, which country (I'm assuming the U.S.)?
Not the OP but I had to do this when opening a bank account in Germany.
That’s about the only time I’d find something like this reasonable.

Until these people are breached and someone takes out a mortgage in your name using all these lovely personal details.
After that they have: my face, copy of my passport, my voice, my phone number, my IP (unless I'm really going out of my way to obfuscate it), my email, etc.
Once I did this, then the series of documents to sign using Docusign came in.
That was the most serious KYC/AML I've ever seen.
I don't like it much but I gotta say: I can definitely see how it raises the bar for would be scammers/impersonators.
