It took a couple of tries to get a facial scan to match my driver's license, but it was worth it to get the security of using the site. A few easy-to-follow steps and presto! I felt totally safe using the site. I wish more sites went to the trouble to verify identity. This is the safest I've felt on the Web ever.

My experience using ID.me was relatively simple and only required making sure I had appropriate documents on-hand before my call. The wait time might be a bit much for some people but it's understandable given the sheer volume they must receive daily.

It was impossible to take acceptable picture for this. It took me half a day. I understand it needs to be very secure also. I would like for this program to be more user friendly. Please more directions. I am reluctant to give it five stars and do it because after all I accomplished what I was looking for. But it should not take half a day.
