Epassporte worth the hassle?

[domweb]

I have always used an AVS processor in the past for my website membership and rebilling.

Now a content provider with a lot of video I want to purchase has presented my with two payment options:

1. Epassporte
2. Wire Transfer

I signed up for an Epassporte account to pay the content provider, but the required paperwork for getting the account is longer than the requirements to get my US passport.

I don't think it's worth the trouble to dig up, format and then send all this business and personal info to Epassporte to just pay a frickin' bill.

What am I missing? Is the Epassporte account so great as to be worth the hassle? I am seriously just thinking of paying the money by wire transfer and eating that cost.

The whole thing has delayed my website launch by more than a week and I am getting frustrated.

Do any porn gurus or enlightened webmasters have any advice?
