3 stars title? Again no sense
August 27, 2024

The site is ok once you're able to figure how to navigate it but it's quite frustrating when having to submit your documents or certain documents and once you've uploaded their site still has no clue as to who you are then your prompted to to a video chat for additional verification which makes no sense. Why offer one way just to be informed you need to do it another way. That's my only issue with the site.

I am not very technologically proficient so trying to understand the directions and how to use either a phone or scanner is hard. It is best to have someone who knows computers or uploading to websites handy to help

You need a computer plus cell phone to complete. Plan on carving out at least 4 hours for this cumbersome process. For me it's not worth the money but CA forces you to do this.

Hidden verification page
August 26, 2024

All categories can simply be accessed by going to "My wallet" except Medical Provider. There's instructions to go into the shop to enter the screen for Medical provider, but I followed the instructions and the verification screen never showed up. I still have been unable to verify. I emailed support and the same answer was given over and over, despite explaining and sending screen shots that their instructions weren't working. No resolution and no further help given. Why is the Medical provider screen hidden unlike all the others?

MSgt Alan Ricketts (Retired)
August 26, 2024

I was trying to use ID.me to log in to the VA.gov. When, I was trying to log in, it asked me to send a copy of my Drivers License so they could verify that I was Alan Ricketts. I was asked to send a copy of my Drivers License. I took a picture of my License and saw that a copy of the License was in the my Gallery. When I clicked on software that said take a picture, it took me to my gallery, however all of the pictures were over 6 months old. It would not let me see any of the recent pictures. I tried several times and it just kept giving me the same problem over and over. I finally gave up for the day.

The next day, I talked with 4 other veterans seeking help. None of them could figure out why I was having this problem. I couple hours later, one of then mentioned trying to use a SCREEN SHOT of my Driver's License. That worked. After taking a Screen Shot, a copy of my Driver's License showed up in my Photo Gallery. Which allowed me to send a copy to the VA for verification.
