Hello Yvette! Thank you for your feedback and recommendation! We appreciate your 5-star review of ID.me. -ID.me Social Response Team
The application on the site was straightforward but, most importantly the list of acceptable documentation for the process was concise and easily comprehensible for the average foreign resident. The second phase involving the interview was also uncomplicated. I was assigned an interviewer quite promptly who was courteous and efficient in completing verification. He was also open to any and all questions I may have had regarding ID.me. I would call ID.me an invaluable asset for secure verification of one's identity.

Making the application from the UK was easy and the web site was moderately clear as to document provision. Face picture selfie was challenged but once I made contact with an agent he was extremely professional and after we landed on zoom as our contact method (he managed the switch very well) the remaining questions and document sharing was very easy. An excellent service.
