On second day trying to find my id number so I can add to Oromo code for my discount
Wonderful very helpful it was fast and simple and my agent was very professional
It was very helpful and your documents need to be completed and very Clair
I loved it, very fast and easy! She made sure to make me feel comfortable and help me because this was my first time doing anything like this
I had a wonderful experience with I'd.me would love to work with y'all in the future.
Simple and fast and efficient, very easy to navigate
I had never tried to take photos and "upload" them to a website before. More precise on screen instructions for how to complete that process would be helpful. I had to attempt the process three times before I understood what "button" on the screen to push in order for my driver's license photo could be "attached" or added to the screen. The video process was a new experience for me and now I understand the need for that added security feature, however, it was not what I was expecting. The agent was very helpful, pleasant and with excellent "people" skills—-she helped me understand the process and what would happen following the video.
The experience was incredible, very fast, effective and the best very friendly despite not speaking English well the treatment was very patient and considerate thank you very much I am really grateful
It was easy to sign up for. However, having to sign into it for every single government agency is a pain in the $#*!. It should have a multi app portal.
