KYC/AML hurdles with prop firms, anyone else?

Been trying to get set up with a new prop firm lately, and the KYC/AML process has been a real headache. I understand the necessity, but the back-and-forth on documentation, the delays in verification, it's just eating up so much time. It's almost like some firms are intentionally making it difficult. Anyone else experience significant friction getting onboarded, especially with international verification? Curious if this is just my experience or a more common issue. I'm wondering if there's a better way to streamline this for both sides without compromising security.
