As a veteran, I have been using ID.me for a while now to access my online medical records. The process to sign up and get identity verified is extremely easy with completely user friendly directions throughout. If you are a veteran too, this will remove some of the hoops you might be jumping through to get access to your records...

Scamming people who don't have money
September 6, 2025

After spending 4 hours with these people they messed up my bank account trying to take money that wasn't there. I'm in desperate need of help and all they wanted to do was ask me if I would cash a $20,000 check for that

Have multiple documents
September 6, 2025

I had my DL and birth certificate and a valid phone number. However when it came to the verify my phone number, it would not allow me any further since I share a phone plan with my daughter and its in her name. I then had to call former employer for a W2. Should have taken 10 mins, Process finally was over in 3 days.

Safe, secure and reliable!
September 6, 2025

I really enjoyed this whole process. Although it has been difficult in the past, they have definitely perfected the way that they verify identity. I appreciated how quickly the document upload process was, as well as the way my identity was verified through video. I think video is a great way to add identity protection. Americans can now rest easy and feel more secure with our identity being kept safe. This process should be followed in a lot of other places, including the workforce to avoid identity theft in the future. I feel very safe, using ID.me in future as well. Thank you for keeping Americans safe!
