My experience with ID.me was outstanding. I found it very easy to move around my account once I set up my profile.
ID.me helped a technically challenged individual (me) through the process. I'd recommend them to everyone interested.

Hello Blake! Thank you for sharing your experience with ID.me. We sincerely appreciate your feedback. -ID.me Social Response Team
I have made several attempts to verify my identity with ID.ME through various government organizations and the questions that are asked through the Fair Credit Reporting Act (they have a lot of misinformation about me, totally WRONG on the part of FAIR CREDIT REPORTING) I needed access to a particular government website so today I decided to do the video chat With Linda A. At ID.ME. Com and I uploaded all the documents that were needed for identification and I got on the video chat with Linda A. And I have to say the process was very easy with Linda's help. My advice to anyone needing to prove their identity through a government website using ID.ME.com to choose the video chat option, it is so much better than trying to verify the Fair Credit Reporting Act questions which can be totally inaccurate questions. If you don't connect with Linda A. Hopefully you will get a agent who is as professional as her
