It was scary at first. It became user friendly and I was able to get verified.
I received a phone video to idenify my documents. The man was very nice and helpful. Any person can do this.
Fast, easy, and safe and secure. I had to sign into a website that required sensitive documents and information so this helped to do that while providing me peace of mind.

The ID Me site, process, and representative, was easy to understand and simple to use. The call itself was quite enjoyable as the rep was engaging, chery, helpful, and exgibited a great sense of humor. If all my interactions online could go like that... Thanks Rae!
The online site is difficult to use and no one was online to hep me. I spent at least an hour trying to figure out how to add my husband to the id app. I finally figured it out on my own.
