I like how agent ask the questions and it wasn't long to wait I recommend this for anyone also and I'm very satisfied and good about it.
I did not necessarily like giving so much of my personal information but the process was easy to complete. It took a little time to complete but it wasn't too bad. The prompts were very easy to understand and follow.

I found updating IDme to be a simple, straight forward experience. I had the information they needed at hand, and that definitely helped. I was also patient while the site was digesting the information I had put in, but the wait time was minimal, especially at a time my internet is usually a little slow. I appreciated that the form to fill out was created in a way that tabbing through the items was quick and easy.
