Easier Than Anticipated
October 25, 2022

The process was simple and quick for the level of security required. My 89 year old mom couldn't do it because of the uploading of a picture, but she could have used an alternate method if she wanted to remain independent of assistance.

Exceptional … with a few bumps
October 25, 2022

My experience was positive and ended successfully. I can testify that the ID.me team cares about your experience and because of this I am confident the experience will continue to improve. I recommend watching any tutorials offered for navigating the site or optimally capturing images of documents. The tutorials are quick and clearly communicate how to have a successful experience. The time remaining to join the video conference to confirm identity can fluctuate (decrease then increase then start sooner than expected) however once it begins you will be in very good hands.

Creating id.me login
October 25, 2022

There is specific documentation needed in order for you to create a login, but once you upload the required documents, keep them handy... for next you are directed to a video call in which you must show these with you in the video. The agent will look at your docs, then decide if this is indeed you. Fast, simple, and painless.

Ty Jenna and ID.me
October 25, 2022

Today I needed information from its but needed to be verified. The process was very straight forward and though I couldn't get through with first verification, I had to resort it to the video option. It may have been some waiting time but it was amazing to know we still get linked to a human body to assist us and not a robotic voice that never understands! Ty Jenna for your help and warmth today in verification
