Easy process
August 26, 2022

Easy process for anyone who's comfortable with online platforms. Only inconvenience is that you have to submit your items to be reviewed first so you can't have your web-meeting with the agent the same day

Simple instructions and the process was quick. The face scanning takes a little adjusting but you get good feedback in the process (the system gives you direction i. E. 'move left') which was very helpful. Login.gov never accepted any photo or even a scan of my drivers license- it was downright maddening.

They went out of their way!
August 25, 2022

Mercedes at ID.me went out of her way in my verification process to get an IRS on-line account. Living in China, it is sometimes hard connecting to the USA. When I got to the video process, I could not connect. Mercedes called my family in Arizona and I was contacted. We connected via Zoom, and the verification process was completed thanks to Mercedes' effort. She was nice and friendly during the interview. Much appreciated! Thank you!
