Is ID.Me optional? Not really.
May 29, 2025

Very hard to work with. Now my explanation has to be at least 100 characters long? Are you kidding me. Stop using uncontrolled AI to write and design your systems. The tech is not there yet.

Easy to setup account

Setup was simple as you just have to follow prompts on your phone. Expect to use at several merchant locations that I already shop at.

Convenient services
May 29, 2025

This is my initial registration ID. Me account, the homepage interface is very friendly, and you can choose the language. The verification process is clearly indicated, and the precautions are reminded in time. Finally, the real-time recording service is very kind, and the Chinese translation is also very accurate. But when I completed the registration and verification and logged in to my account, I found that my mailing address was wrong. This is the address of a friend, and he has moved away from there for many years. I don't know why this address appears on my ID. Me account. The U.S. address I provide now will end in a month. I won't have an American address after I return to China. Excuse me, how can I modify my mailing address?

Frustrating to the point of creating tears! Too much time in my day was spend trying to get established and verified so I could tend to state business but roadblocks were put up left and right. Such a horror!

Safe and trusted
May 29, 2025

My best experience with ID.me was during the pandemic when I needed to verify my identity quickly for unemployment benefits. The platform guided me through the process with step-by-step instructions, and I was able to upload documents and complete video verification in under an hour. The representative was professional and helpful, making sure everything was accurate. I received confirmation soon after, which gave me peace of mind during a stressful time. The convenience of handling everything from home, along with the platform's strong security, made it a reliable and efficient solution. It exceeded my expectations and made a difference.
