My Experience Using ID.me
November 28, 2022

I was able to quickly understand what ID.me could do to enable me to easily contact various Federal and State Government agencies. Once, I had completed the initial requirements it became easier to understand. The identification process took a little time but the site sent easy to read instructions to help me on the way.

Calm and secure
November 28, 2022

What we thought would be a long and difficult communication went very easily, calmly, and securely! The representative was just awesome with us and our unique situation (Aphasia, disabled veteran in a wheelchair). She did what it took to get us done with no stress and no worries at all. Major kudos to her! Thank you for taking the time with us so. You are so very much appreciated. Stay safe.

The process was a little intense and convoluted but, in the end, it accomplished the expected results.
A set of FAQs and a sheet 'walking you through the process as a guide would be beneficial, almost like a check off sheet that has the projected processes listed that you familiarize yourself with prior to 'jumping in' to the multiple steps.
