Sadly I can't give less than 1 star
November 25, 2024

Slow tedious user interface to set up. Then the app didn't work. I verified may military time and got acknowledgement that alwas good. Put in 2FA and biometrics. Tried to apply the mil discount and got unhelpful error popup that said an error had occurred and they were aware of it, but no recommended course of action. Tried several times with same results.Don't waste your time.

Convenient
November 25, 2024

I needed to replace my social security card and was able to get through the process fairly easily. The only tough part was being able to get a picture of the card without shadows and having to deal with the shiny bits that reflected and dulled the overall picture. Once we got that in successfully the following parts were easy as well. I would suggest having a picture of the front and back of your drivers license completed before you start the process. That way, you won't be timed out for taking too long to edit your pictures and have to start the process over again. Also, the selfie part was pretty cool too.

ID Me takes the hassle out if the login process. Set it up the first time, and you're good to go from there on out. No repeated verifications, no remembering passwords each time, etc. LOVE IT!
