No human interaction
September 4, 2024

Like most companies this company doesn't want to ever have to talk to you. You have automated every single method or problem or issue has an automated bot that responds to you via e-mail, as the official representative from the customer service department. So if you want to reach the human being good luck.

Its so unbelievably annoying and I dont see how an agent of our public institutions should be given a contract to be this $#*!TY. Shame on you.

Easy Process
September 4, 2024

At first I thought that this would be a long process but to be honest, it only took me a few minutes to complete and I am very satisfied with the process. Very easy to read and understand what information is needed for each question.

Verify ID.me
September 4, 2024

I had a hard time getting it to verify my ID.me account taking the pics of my driver license or the face selfie. I don't know what the problem was! But it's all good now.

Technology that works
September 4, 2024

It took no more than ten minutes to complete my application to ID.me, and that included entering my photo document twice. The site is well constructed, intuitive and easy to use.

Services was great
September 4, 2024

Whatever you do don't use the pc because the program the company uses is flawed browser is clunky and refused to turn my mic amd camera on (Facebook amd zoom) run just fine. Otherwise just stick with smartphone and process will be smoother and not have to fight with it.

Why did my previous ID expire?
September 3, 2024

Apparently if you dont use ID.ME for 2 or 3 years, your "ID" expires. But why? You are the same person, correct? Why make the person go through the same process? Even when you renew your driver's license, you only need to provide docs if something like an address changes.

Anyways, no non-voip phone so i ended up having to do video verification. And it was pretty easy actually. About 8-10 min for the whole process...maybe the wait time for the video chat added another 3-4 min.

Fast and easy throughout the whole process. Only needed my late husband's SSN and IDme did the rest. Would definitely recommend to any current or prior military service members and their families. Made getting military discount super simple.
