I've had an ID.me account for years. Today was the first time I used my account to verify my identity through a third party organization. Being a victim of identity theft, I think more companies should use this platform to verify identities.

One of my ID's had my middle name spelled out, but my other ID's only had a middle initial. Would have been nice if the matching of ID's would take that into consideration with the initial match instead of having to wait 15 minutes to do a video chat to do the verification.

When I first encountered ID.me, I envisioned a complicated, incomplete process. However, as I began to use this ID system, it became clear that someone had developed a system with the user interface in mind. Each step was written in conversational English and did not contain jargon that would make it difficult to understand. The various options presented for verification appealed to users who have both experience and inexperience in the use of technology. I am proud to see such a system and thank you for develping it.
