Quite difficult, complicating to upload documents with foreign address since there are no options other than US based document categories. Video session was good and friendly but the agent spoke very fast.

There is a new annoyance in town
June 17, 2025

A company with a moniker of ID ME. Some group from somewhere ( probably beltway bandits0 who've insinuated themselves into the Federal government. Soon to be part of the "TRIPLE AUTHENTICATION process... UGH. They probably mean well but who knows. And they need to be more, much more, about what they are going to do. BY THE WAY IT MAY BE THE best authentication in town if you really care.

User friendly
June 17, 2025

Very clear and precise instructions. So much clearer than Login.gov. Instructions on Login.gov has lengthy instructions which sometimes hard to remember. ID.me has shorter instructions, I logged into, and had no issues.

2 years of hell and frustration. This has been going on for at least a year. I have come to the conclusion that with the education of whoever did this program, they failed the course, probably never given, called common sense, and also a course call ed how to deal with older veterans.
