Needed my service record to qualify for a Cosco Membership. Normally taking a trip to town and standing in line for a while and then having to wait for delivery or driving to town again. ID.me allowed me to complete my VA Verification online and apply for the Cosco Membership at the same time. Thanks is not proper for something so easy for a change.
