Worst website
December 17, 2023

If your looking for simple and quick you've come to the wrong website. Even though it's you you still won't be verified unless your in sun light for you verification picture. Just awful. Needs to be fixed.

Clean, Simple, and it Works!
December 10, 2023

Had DAYS worth of problems with Login.gov and DS Login trying to get information updated with the VA. I finally tried ID.me and it worked perfectly the first time. Their user interface is clear and easy to understand, plus, as I said, it WORKS. No error messages or "we have a problem on our end; try again later" for days as I did with Login.gov. I recommend ID.me and will only use this method to access my personal info in the future.

Verification
December 10, 2023

ID.me gives military servicemen and women the ability to verify their service with websites that offer special status for veterans. The VFW, for instance, uses it to give members access to the VFW store. It is generally quick and easy. I detract one star because the setup though comparatively easy, requires too much information. Isn't there a better way to verify military personnel without providing so much sensitive information?

Don't wait, get verified!
December 10, 2023

I initially wanted to get verified so that I could use the military discount to purchase some furniture around Veteran's Day. That didn't work out as it took a while to get verified (like over a month!) but I am verified now!
