The numbers are given so fast it makes it hard to copy. Just a little slower would be great.

Great secure site to use
February 18, 2025

Verifying my identity and getting access back into my account was so easy it was crazy. I didn't expect things to be this straightforward and simple but it was and I'm extremely grateful. The agent was very respectful and professional and I definitely recommend ID.me 10 out of 10.

Terrible experience
February 18, 2025

I called to get help from the VA to open an account. He was very nice and we started the process but ran into a glitch. He tried another way to bypass the problem which didn't work. This was after I uploaded the photos.i was doing this for my veteran who has Alzheimer's and is my husband.

Why must we suffer with ever-expanding, extreme measures to guard ourselves and our data against criminals? I thought if you committed a crime, you went to prison. Not so with cyber crimes. So the burden is on us, the honest people. And it grows heavier until it breaks us.

This is an ordeal.
February 18, 2025

I understand the need for secure methods for identification. This is not the way to go about it. Confusing, inconsistent, redundant are three words I would use to describe the process.
