Would fill out requested information click next and would be taken back to first screen to enter all the information again. This is way more complicated than it should be!

My experience with Id.me was fast and easy and the process was not that long. The person I had the video interview was very professional and thorough. I am glad I went through this process and get my ID verified.

Positive uncomfortability,
November 3, 2023

My experience with ID. Me was fairly simple. There was a couple times I had issues with different functions and referencing different pages and sites. I think that is the result of being in my uppers 40s during a time of technological breakthroughs.

Military discount
November 3, 2023

The process was alittle complicated. I had a verification problem because my DD214 was old and hard to read. I was pleased they had another option to show your license if it has your armed forces indicated. Which saved me alot of time to not have to get another DD214. Other than that it wasn't bad

Terrible process with no result
November 10, 2023

Terrible process with no result. Time consuming, upsetting, unclear procedures which ultimately - though I followed what I was supposed to didn't result in my getting the needed transcript so I had to find another way to do it.

2 last names
November 2, 2023

Had 2 last names when I was in the military and it was hard for me to get verified because whem I became a US citizen I only kept one. All my forms of IDs were denied because of a miss matched last name.
