April 21 (UPI) -- An Indiana woman is searching for her doppelganger after she was flagged by facial recognition software while renewing her driver's license.
Erika Brown of Anderson said she was renewing her license at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles when the software indicated there could be fraud at play.
She was contacted by a Fraud and Security Enforcement investigator who requested evidence of her identity before her new license could be issued.
The officer showed Brown two side-by-side photos -- her driver's license photo, and that of another Indiana woman who is the same age, but has a different name and address.
"What are the odds that we look so similar, live in the same place, and have never crossed paths?" she told WXIN-TV.
"I'm an only child, so no one really looks like me," she said. "Seeing someone who looks so much like me was really strange and bizarre. No one had ever told me, 'You look like so-and-so.'"
Brown's new license was finally issued after three months, but she is now trying to find her look-alike by posting a new TikTok video with an update on her search every day.
"I want to meet her, be in the same room, and know who she is," Brown said. "Does she have a family? What do her parents look like? How does something like this even happen genetically?"
