Quick and easy!
April 2, 2023

The steps to follow were quite simple (have your diver's license ready, be able to take a photo and upload it). Although the light (brightness) sensitivity of the software is a bit picky, it's nothing that can't be worked through. The software itself was super-quick (uploading the photos, waiting for the system to confirm and move to the next step, waiting for a 2-factor identification text message) and I had completed the entire process in very little time at all.

Not Good
May 2, 2023

This seems like a scam. The process asks for critical documents with no human interaction. I have no clue where this information went and if it will be kept secure and not sold to some black market ID thieves.

Password Recovery and Biometrics
April 2, 2023

I made several attempts on password recovery but failed and created a new one instead.
The biometrics appears to be too having issues in matching my drivers license.

Shopping online can, sometimes, be a hassle. Glitches, resets, ect, sending you back to square one. Using ID.me was extremely quick and user friendly.

Technology in this day and age changes rapidly and is hard for some people (especially senior citizens) to keep up with. ID.me technology is simple and user friendly. As a senior citizen, I was able to use it for IRS tax return identification procedure.

Simple setup
April 2, 2023

ID.me was pretty easy to setup. But, it make take multiple attempts for the biometric scanner to work successfully. The lighting and distance from face to phone has to be just right.

The process is a bit long but very worth the time spent to make sure you get what you need and it's secure. I think it's great to be able to have access to my own information at my fingertips.
