Had to enter my info two times before it would accept because the directions for what to enter when using a veterans drivers license was not specified as to what to do next.

A Professional ID.me Experience
December 2, 2022

My ID.me experience was great. I had to be redirected to upload documents I have uploaded before but the guided questions and instructions made the experience smooth and easy to follow. The human contact during the video chat was helpful and understanding. The feedback and options were straightforward and direct. I just hope that the results will be favorable as I dealt with uploading my documents.

Easy as 1 2 3
December 2, 2022

I had my number changed since my last sign into IRS.gov so I had to create a new ID.me. Which was a hassle at first getting the necessary documents, taking pics and then having to do a live video call to validate everything. BUT when you realize this is for your safety it's worth it and the live video call maybe lasted 5 minutes and the rep was professional, personable and friendly.

When other logins fail, ID me works every time. I don't understand why it's so difficult to login to the VA. I am glad though that it seems very secure.
