Had to go from long time account to multiple verification. Government agency uses outside sources. Being sent from one to the other in the middle of a critical submittal was less than ideal. ID.me made the process easier and clearer especially when my phone apps would not do what ID.me wanted for uploads. Verbal chat solved the problem
After my struggle to be verified a nd with very professional support for the people of id.me finally made it to look for the next step
