It was great to see the level of security and concerns around identify protection, It's a bit complicated and with multiple tabs with multiple permissions I was confused as to what tab I'm in or what browser to open. I used Google Chrome and it worked fine then though.

I saw that Samsung offered a significant military discount and decided to sign up for their military store. They used ID.me to verify my veteran status. It was super simple, quick and secure. I ended up saving over $2500 dollars for my appliance purchases. And now I have access to other retailers that also offer military discounts. I would definitely get on board with this verification process.

I found that Apple offered discounts to military and veterans. Verification of status is by Id.me. Verification probably took no more than a minute or two of answering questions to get the process complete, then they transferred me to the discounted Apple site.

Do not fear ID.me. It was easy to use, and I was able get what I needed within one hour. I suspect that if I tried to obtain documents the "old fashioned" way, it would have taken two weeks. If you are the type that wants "instant gratification", please do not hesitate in using ID.me.
