Had a wonderful experience with id.me, my agent was very thorough and efficient. I felt my documents were in safe hands and I had a very welcoming experience.Highly recommended for safe effective logins.
Wasted time taking photos of my ID and doing live video confirmation, all successful, only to be blocked from accessing the actual SS site (the reason I was forced to use this "service"). Now they have all my biometric data and I got nothing. Ripoff,I feel violated.
Fue necesario utilizarla. En el ultimo momento obtuve respuesta en El Paso final de videollamada, la parte engorrosa y tardada fue presentar el documento bancario, entender porque no lo aceptaban, una y otra vez. Encontrarme con que querían que ese documento tuviera no sólo el nombre y dirección igual a las declaraciones, además querían que presentara completo el SS o ITIN y eso en un documento bancario no está.
Trying to scan myself. Was not easy to complete.
Don't know why/ Perhaps I was not doing it right, even I was following the instruction.
