Never received the email to start the video verification process. Sent a question to the help center and it was not answered correctly. It appears the question was not understood. Tried various times to access the NJ PAC site, which requires AD. Me, and was aways told I would receive and email for verification. This all took place over a 11 day period of time. Finally, I made one more attempt to access the NJ PAC site and this time it took me directly to video verification site. The wait for the video call was short and very easy. The ID. Me site should have a place where you can request the video verification. It would make the process much easier.

Great great great
May 7, 2025

Super fast n didn't take long to execute my task thanks now your asking for too much it was ok for a minute but then you want me to type 100 characters it went south really quick you should just let people type what they want instead of pressuring them to write more than they have to
My whole experience now is in the negative i forgot what good i was talking about because I had to write all this extra b. S because it wasn't long enough

Nothing at all
May 7, 2025

It took me an hour to prove who I am. I got a message that something went wrong but no information as to how to fix it. I'm a volunteer at the VSO office in Abington, MA and it was time to go home. So I just shut down the computer and went home.

Signing On Problems
May 7, 2025

My experience at trying to sign up at home should have been easier. Going to USPS to get help was not practical. Setting up a time to have a VA assistant avoided problems all around.

First time video connection
May 7, 2025

Delightful! Learn something about video document management. Information required was reasonable. Need to figure if passport is useful. Way too much background colors to allow for a clear transmission of data.
