Gareth...good example. For one, let`s admit that you would be an exception. But, it is important to consider the exceptions when trying to formulate a process.

Let`s consider the purpose of the process. All that I want to do is verify that you are who you say you are. If your address or phone numbers change a lot...that is ok. All I would need to do is verify your identity. I don`t exactly have to be able to get in touch with you at all times, or know exactly where you live at all times. Those things can change.

There are options. First of all...where are you now? England or Japan? If you are in England, there are more options, because you are probably a permanent resident of England, while you probably have just a work visa for Japan. If you are in Japan, it could be difficult. Do you have any kind of ID while you are in Japan? Do you have a British license? How about a passport? Would there be a verified Axer in England or Japan who could sponsor you? If they say "Yes, I swear that he is Gareth Yeulet", then I would provide that person (the sponsor) with a verification code. They would then present the code to you, and you would present it to me, verifying that you the person that the sponsor was talking about.

At this point in time, I have not done indepth research on the options to verify people in different countries. I think that if someone is telling the truth about their identity, then we would find a way to do it eventually. If someone gave me too much difficulty in verifying their name, I would probably suspect an attempt of false identity. Someone might also be difficult as a way of actively complaining about the verification process. I suspect that a large percentage would be easily identifiable. The more difficult ones would have to present me with more information about their circumstances. I already know some of your circumstances (bouncing between England and Japan throughout the year).

If I find out more options, I`ll tell you what I`ve come up with.
