ID me seems to be the necessary evil we need to ensure internet and identity security. I wish we didn't need it but this format was well set up and the step by step guidance was excellent
They will help you as long as you have your proper documents to upload before and during video call.
The entire process took less than 15 minutes to create my account and have it verified. I had been trying to gain on-line access to my account for years and the verification process always failed. This was quick and the option to use my laptop camera to provide a secure documents was a big plus.
Great customer service and well deserved. Agent was wonderful and great with excellent communication.
The site was difficult to navigate - I am not a smart user of computers and the internet, so I am slow in learning. Did not grow up with the technology. So things need to be learned and understood by me before fully understood. It was difficult to login find things at first. Things got better as I grew to understand. It is hard for me to understand how to delete accounts I don't need.
The process was pretty easy and not time consuming as long as you have all your documents ready and the I.d. Me was fast and secure…

I found registering for a new account with ID.me an efficient use of time, very secure and completely worth it. All you need is a smart phone with a camera and a web browser and you can finish the process pretty quickly.
