For the UK one it’s just tied to your email address to prevent duplicates, and you just input your name and physical address which will be used to confirm you’re actually a citizen.

I thought this strange at first too, but I think it’s because of the disparate identification methods in different countries. If everyone had a digital ID card instant checking would be doable, but note it probably isn’t.

That’s not true. It depends on the country. In certain countries it will tell you if your identification number had been used before.

Interesting! I tried from a country that has an eID so it should be trivial to weed out duplicates, yet I got that checkbox.

Maybe it’s a self report feature >.<
