Frequently asked questions

Can I use ScanErase without a Social Security number or US ID?

Yes. ScanErase requires only a face photograph and email address. No government ID or immigration documentation is required.

Will discovering my face exposure lead to immigration enforcement against me?

Finding your face exposure does not trigger immigration enforcement. Law enforcement agencies are not required to report victims of crime to immigration authorities. T-visa and U-visa protections specifically exist for crime victims.
