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!

No choice but to participate
September 5, 2025

I created an IDme account so I could access my VA and SSA accounts. The systems are set up so that without an IDme account you're not going to gain access. This is not optional, its mandatory!

Easy, but time-consuming by necessity. I was frustrated when I had to leave the ID.me website to surf other sites to find required information.
