I had connected with ID.me some years ago in a different state. Multi-factor identification seemed a plus and, after arranging this, I did not use it for some years. I moved to a new state, changed cell phone carriers and even had forgotten my initial registration. I made a mess of my sign-on process. The staff at ID.me were able to untangle my issues and set me right. I appreciate their friendly and professional help!

Even though it said 2-3 days, my updates were done during the same day I submitted my changes. I received responses to the several changes/updates I needed to resume my state agency application process. I was able to access my account with all changes. This is satisfying since I will have to do a legal name change again. Thank you.

It's not often you receive the quality of assistance that I felt when connected to Zee, but she was so helpful and mindful of a new experience for me, that it made the entire procedure very satisfactory. All qualms I had about the verification process were immediately addressed and she completed the task with a level of professionalism I've had yet to experience. Much thanks to her and ID.me for their help.
