ID.me usability
September 13, 2022

It's a good tool to verify your identity with government agencies. I initially used it for signing into the DMV, the VA, and the IRS. The only thing that I don't like is that I couldn't update my personal information, new address and phone number.

First Timer Creating ID.me Account
September 11, 2022

Instructions were clear and easy to follow. I had forgotten how to get the webcam setup & I had to reread the instructions (my fault). The facial scanning program is generated by the ID.me website so I didn't have to download another program. Very pleased with the experience and will recommend this process to my friends. Looking forward to using the website to access my tax data.
