Had to use this site for Florida government things but other than that the site was simple and easy to use, only down side is the long wait times for an agent to video call you and verify you but they can't help the hold times.

I had a pleasant experience with ID.me, I was just recently laid-off and had to contact ID.me. I found them to be very helpful and I am glad that the government is doing more to identify folks to make sure your information is secure.
