The verification process was hard to complete. It rejected me once, then had my name spelled wrong after my second attempt. Third attempt worked but the software they are using definitely needs some work.

ID.me Is Great For Veterans
February 5, 2023

Signing up for ID.me was fairly simple. You will need to upload some basic information for verification. ID.me is an excellent tool for submitting VA travel, and securing specific records. I highly recommend signing up for ID.me.
