Awesome website. Very professional and simple to use. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to have their identity verified.
The agent who helped me was very kind and professional. I am not very good with technology and this involved downloading, uploading, and a few other things that could have been frustrating for me. She was patient with me and we were able to successfully verify my identity in just a few minutes. I was very pleased. I needed to get this done because it was the deadline to file my tax return and there was a problem with my birthday bring different in the IRS records. Long story that was causing me a lot of stress until IDme helped me verify my identity. It was so helpful when I really needed help!

The process of submitting documentation was easy to follow, and the instructions were clear. However, I was most impressed with the verifying agent Israel. He was extremely polite, articulate, and very patient.
I had to sign up with ID.me to be able to get my PA unemployment. It was a long slow process, but my referee was very friendly and helpful.
My IDme account was temporarily suspended for no reason.
