Hello Richard! Thank you for sharing your experience with ID.me. We sincerely appreciate your feedback. -ID.me Social Response Team
From the biometrics screening, to multiple cross-reference checks, the entire process felt as if it was making absolutely certain I was who I said. I started with a hat and glasses and the system refused to accept my facial recognition until it closely matched the profile pictures of my legal IDs. Even WITH the sophisticated validation and verification process, it was simple and intuitive - each step was clear, letting you know where you are in the process and expected next steps. I wish all government systems used this type of software.
