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.

ID.me has been around for a while and goes hand in hand with numerous military and non-military sites. Using ID.me has assisted in creating VA accounts as well as others and not is easier than ever to log in and maintain my info. Great system. Thank you
Muy agradecida por su tiempo y por la calidad del servicio. Definitivamente muy agradecida. Realmente muy satisfecha.
Everything went well even we encountered a minor issue at the initial video call, but was corrected immediately.
Great customer service and also very helpful second hand experience for you as well Personal attacks such as hate speech, bigotry, and lewdness
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.
The whole picture taking and scanning was easy to do.

On a Sunday morning, I was able to change my address and complete my verification with the IRS. The process was fairly simple and fast and verified by the IRS. Thanks for your help.
