The process for completing ID.me was easy to follow. The instructions were self explanatory and easy to understand. I used my Apple I-pad and Apple I- phone in combination to make the task easy.
This system is difficult to work with and does not establish a user's identity any better than alternatives that could be used natively in government systems.
The agent was professional and fast and efficiently helped me identify myself.
Initially I found it very complicated; at the end I found it very organized
I'm extremely happy with getting back into my id.me account.

I had no problem finding what I need while searching topic
I am hopeful. The easy positive experience I had with the application gave me a positive feeling that this is God's direction for me.
