Verification of identity
September 14, 2022

The process was long, but I understand why. You have to be very thorough when it comes to verifying some ones identity. I appreciate the thoroughness. There was so much fraud going in when the pandemic started, that i understand the long process you use to insure the identity of the applicant. Thank you for your help.

How Application Should Work
July 7, 2022

iD.Me was a very secure two factor authentication portal which used easy to understand work flows, intuitive application features and easy to follow instructions that made the identity verification process super easy to complete. All application should be designed with such features, WELL DONE to the design and dev team!

This service was very simple to use! In my verification process there was some info I submitted that they questioned so they asked for a video verification. The information exchange was very well coached and it was really simple to complete the video verification. I did have to wait 56 minutes online for a human to be available, but the time estimate was accurate and there was an opportunity to save what I'd done already and info for trying later without having to start from scratch. It was lunchtime so I waited and sure enough, at 56 minutes the guy came on! It just took 2-3 minutes and my verification is all set.

Exactly what online service should be.
September 14, 2022

The gentleman that I spoke with was an example of what all service should be through the Internet. Aside from his polite attitude his demeanor was welcoming. I would imagine a job of this nature being repetitive and potentially demoralizing however my experience with the service was neutral and did not have to deal with either an overly energetic or depressed person. Thank you for providing this service.

Just do it.
September 14, 2022

It's not that hard, and you've got to have this thing to be able to deal with the government, like the IRS and the DMV. Quit acting like they are going through your dirty laundry, they can do that already. Just get over it and get it. You'll need this thing sooner or later.

Easy ID review
September 14, 2022

This is a quick service. The wait is just to get to an agent. Once on line it goes fast. My agent was direct, but laughed a bit. This made much more personal. She quickly overcame a problem with my video not focusing on my cards. We used Zoom to do that. Very smooth and easy.
