Not as hard as it looks
November 14, 2022

I was sure it would be difficult to get this done. I had tried several times from my phone and it wouldn't work. I finally sat down at my computer and started the process and it was a smooth process even when I had to use my cell phone to take my picture and scan my face. It was all done in 10 minutes. Now I can access my information without any hassles.

Stellar Customer Service
November 14, 2022

To be honest, I found myself getting impatient and aggravated with the identity verification process. I first picked option 1 (verify with my documents, biometrics, etc.) However, it could not verify me because of my phone number. It's already a process, signing in and out, having to authenticate each time (although I do understand the importance of security), having to use different logins between the 2 sites (ID ME and DEO), I mean I literally had to debrief for an hour before actually completing the dreadful process. So I tried the 2nd option (to do a video identification verification) to get pass the issue of me not being able to verify because of a phone number discrepancy. Most importantly, the wait wasn't long to connect to a live representative and when I did, she was very professional, patient and her voice alone was very very polite. She made me feel comfortable as soon as our video connected and I knew that she would be providing me with stellar customer service. I was completely satisfied with the level of service received.
