It was quick and simple. Just have your documents ready. And you're good.
I think i had a great time doing this but I still have not gotten my unemployment benefits. I still need some help thanks
Great and fast experience totally worth it would refer to anyone. Secures your information
Not the quickest process but it leaves you feeling your information is secure and your identity will not be stolen.
My ID.me will not let me sign into VA.gov. That is the reason I signed up with ID.me.
My experience was very very satisfactory for the first time. I recommended this for everyone.
It was a good experience to show that improvement was possible with people not scamming or stealing identities
Was very easy and nice the agent I talked with was very nice professional
I really love this web will tell people about it it's very easy to used and better then anything I used
I attempted the self verification multiple times with multiple clear pics of the documentation required. I would get through the entire process only to be told I was unable to be verified. After these attempts, I went the other route to speak with an agent. It literally took one minute for him to take a screen shot of my documents (which I'm sure was no better than what I had taken) to be "verified." Skip the self verification to save yourself time and annoyance!
Hello Jennifer. We’re glad you were able to complete your verification successfully. We appreciate your feedback! —T, ID.me
Really poor interface. Does not tell you when something is not up to their "standards', you have to figure it out. No optional ways of submitting information, even though it says "I don't have a smart phone" it still requires that you be confirmed by telephone and link to browser. Really frustrating!

It was fast and easy! And the customer service was great.
Needed a little patience, had to keep showing the same documents atleast 5 times, and the process of the facial scan was a bit off, or was just my phone
