It was very easy and quick even for a military spouse. I didn't have to list personal documents that would concern a person just to sign up. It took less than 10 minutes & i received a 30% discount at the Yeti site.
A little complicated but pretty well laid out and guided. The whole process was fairly quick.
Agent was professional and respectful. I'm happy to have the additional security.
Finally completed the process after several attempts
I was extremely pleased at how quick it was to be verified. It felt safe and confident. I would use again if needed.

I signed up for ID.me. The experience was quick, safe and easy. It always you to get intuit example your Social Security files and not be compromised.
I highly recommend this program.
I received email notification from Soc Security that a message was waiting for me on their website.
I had previously used ID.me to establish mysocialsecurity account. Now when I get this email notification I am stopped by ID.me to go through many time consuming steps of adding additional security information that I feared was a scam to get MORE of my personal info that included uploading document and face recognition video. I felt scared that it was a trap. So many entities lately have experienced hacks into their system so I felt worried about providing all this information when I had already last year established a relationship with ID.me. Good luck to all of us that are allowing this process to upload so much personal information.
Very easy to use. Quick response via text message makes it very secure.
