The process is worth.
August 16, 2022

The initial process can be tedious and even aggravating, but once you complete the process, you have confidence your information is safe and secure. Forward access to your account is a breeze. Well worth the investment in time and energy.

Feeling helpless, I had recurring failures trying to get my ID validated from my home in Germany. But after a call for customer support, their assistant walked me through the right steps to successfully get my ID validated, and for VA and IRS all is great now!

Leery no more
August 16, 2022

I was leery when I first heard of ID.me. The thought of providing my personal information to this relatively unknown entity, at that time, was daunting. But after much research and implied approval by credit unions and government agencies, including the military and the IRS, I went for it and very happy I did. Having to verify my identity at one site as a gateway to others has proven to be very beneficial to me. Their guidance when I have questions has also been phenomenal. I am a happy camper!

Experiencia agradable
August 16, 2022

Por medio de mi experiencia en la forma de como la atención al cliente fue excelente, le motivó a que puedan realizar su verificación, es segura, rápida, para que puedan recibir sus beneficios si ningún problema, aún no me a llegado pero tarda según la información de dos semana a un mes que no se a cumplido el término. Sus empleados altamente calificados. Gracias por el compromiso de que uno se sienta seguro realizando este tipo de verificación. ID. Me te ayuda. Que esperas para registrarte.

Top Notch Service
August 16, 2022

These security measures are the way of the future and at first, wasn't too thrilled about changing my login process. The ID.me folks were very thorough in verifying my identity and came up with a workaround when my computer camera didn't function. Now I have ID.me for most of my accounts and will probably switch entirely in the near future.
