I had just struggled through a verification process with a bank to verify my identity then I used ID.me. Amazing!. The steps were very easy to follow, and they were relevant to the task of securing my information. One gets the feeling they take cyber security controls very seriously.

Felt intimidated because I found it difficult. It was very time consuming and it took me 2 1/2 hours instead of 15 minutes.

I tried verifying using my PC but the text being sent to my phone didn't include the upload link for my license. I then signed in with my phone and was able to upload everything using the phone. ID.me then directed me back to my original login (PC) where I had to complete the process.

Best Program Ever
April 4, 2024

My experience was exceedingly great; the persistence with which it kept trying to get me to complete the process was admirable; any other program should have, would have, given up. My procrastination was really unacceptable, but you kept trying, day after negligent day, almost like a computer, and not a person was trying to get, help, and patiently encourage me to complete the process. Amazing. Please give a special award to the people that built this program. They deserve recogntion.
