I used this to validate using a mix of my desktop, phone, and biometric scans with the phone camera. Overall, it worked quite well, and no "moments of panic." Good job with a very difficult process.

It was professional, quick and easy. She made me feel comfortable@ least I felt she was doing her job asking the required questions and walked me through the process of getting the information needed. I'm 48 yrs old and she walked me through how to work my phone to get the information correctly including working my phone camera

I am an OLD guy using an old computer with no camera system.
The first agent I spoke with suggested I use Zoom with my cell phone.
After installing Zoom on my cell phone, the second agent was VERY
Patient with me while assisting me to complete the process using Zoom.

Great process!
October 30, 2022

The process was EXTREMELY easy. I fully expected to be required to upload photos of my military ID and have to wait for the approval process. Instead, you website didn't require any of that, and make the entire process take only a minute or two.

I always worry about logging in to certain sites where I know my sensitive information resides, like the IRS. Signing up for ID.me was very easy with step-by-step instructions and the end result was more security. It did not take much time at all to accomplish.
