Easy to Use
November 14, 2023

The use of ID.me for signing up for a discount with a local store was easy and fast. I had apprehensions about using ID.me because of my previous experience with trying to get my veteran's identification card (several years ago and hectic). Now I feel like I can go to ID.me without any hesitation. ID.me guides you easily through the process, and it fast.

I never heard of ID.ME before I went to purchase a new vehicle and they said I needed an authorization number to prove I was a military veteran. I'm 78 years old and not real computer literate. I had to download a copy of my DD214 into the program. Never did anything like this before. Took about an hour to photo on my phone, then get phone attached to computer, then find the picture and get it to a place I could send it to ID.Me. I got a couple of messages that there was a code in my e-mail. I found that but don't believe I ever used it? Apparently everything worked because I did get the authorization number. I was totally lost to the point af turning down the discount. My lovely wife told me to keep trying and finely it worked.

Received notice from IRS about money owed without a lot of explanation why. Wanted to know more and ended up getting ID.me, which was a very easy/smoooth/safe process. Was then able to see the exact information I needed.

Review with ID.me
November 21, 2023

My experience with this program was somewhat confusing. I advise anyone that uses this program to have all your documents ready and if you have problems do the video chat. It will help you and save a lot of time. The actual program is simple if you take your time and read the directions.
