IT's easier if...
January 7, 2025

I had a difficult time with uploading a picture of my license. It was easier to use the video identification. The person who popped up on the video was extremely friendly and efficient. It took less than a couple of minutes. I worked for days trying to get a decent photo. I strongly suggest you use the video recognition.

ID.me sign-up
January 7, 2025

The self sign-up process was not user friendly. If you are an older person not computer savvy it was very frustrating. The verification process seemed to be on a loop. We had to do the same thing multiple times only to get to a point that we could not get past. The over-use of authentication codes was frustrating. After an hour we finally gave up. We then started over using the video sign-up. The agent was very good and very patient - props to her. If you're trying to log in to the VA and have another option - use it.

Easy, Breezy
January 7, 2025

I thought at first that it was going to be to complicated to follow along especially when you see the spinning circle. I went through the first step the circle went around once and boom next task. It says it can take up to 10 minutes but I think it's a typo cause it's more like 10 sec. The whole thing took about 5 minutes to complete. I was at home on my home internet as well.

The ID. Me was pretty easy to understand. The only confusing part for me was the video selfie. The loading bar should load at you are successful or not. The way it bounced was confusing if I was doing it correctly

ID.me is a scam
January 7, 2025

Never give your personal data to a company like this. The video and facial recognition especially is dangerous. Don't do it. Just imagine what happens when they have breach, which they will

Worth signing up!
January 7, 2025

I received $1000.00 off a new vehicle deal (as a healthcare worker) and ID.me made it easy to process. It took less than three minutes to obtain an authorization number and provide it to the dealership. Well worth registering!
