Appreciate ID.me for making things quick and easy. Avoids so much hassle of running around to different places, or using snail or email. Great service. The video representative/trusted referee was awesome!
Though the process for submitting all the documents was tedious, I understood the need for verification and safety of identity. My process led to needing a Video Call to virtually meet with a Rep that reviewed the documents submitted, interacted with me and verified my forms of ID on the video. Though I had waited to connect to the Video Call, I was unable to get my laptop camera to activate, and started to feel frustrated. Then the Rep called me and offered solutions so that we could connect and complete the process. She was supportive, efficient and professional. I felt more calm and confident in the process after that interaction.
