First, I resent the fact that I did not have a choice but to use this overly cumbersome login protocol. Next, I resent the time it took and the needless complexity to set it up. Finally, it took several attempts, the first of which was a month earlier.
I am very certified because I have been in ID.me for almost 10 years. Please 1 am still expecting my (IP PIN NUMBER) though my new address. Thanks
Need to fix the problem that it is not working error message and process error with paystubs paperwork
Could not have been more simple, and still so secure
This sight is a good sight and also safe sight to submit documents
It was very informative, once I got started. It or me was very slow at first...but I managed it pretty well.
Was painless and they were very patient with me as we had technical difficulties. They had ensured I had no problem getting back in and all 3 agents had great attitudes not like I was a burden or they didn't want to be there. Thank you for the peace of mind.
Not pleasant.
I see no reason to keep typing and explain anything else because I have text it all on the questions asked.
After I submitted a request for help, an instruction was emailed to me and I followed the instruction and received some error messages that I described to them. Then the same instruction was emailed to me again. So frustrated, the virtual assistance probably couldn't understand my issue...
It safe and reliable to help protect your identity
Quickly got a text to upload photos through browser without apps or downloads took the photos and quick and browser opened would take a few more with ID.me again.
