Not so easy to Me
November 11, 2023

Many of the questions were not easy to figure out what the system wanted. Abbreviations are not always easy to figure out what they mean. Several times I thought I figured it out only to be told I needed some number. I finally went through and answered no to everything and it let me go to the next page. I'm still not sure I answered everything right. This being a government form what will they do if I answered something wrong by mistake?

It took me a long time to finalize my registration and verification with ID.ME. It seems early on in the application process there was an option to select, "I do not have a US address" and/or "I do not have a US phone." I did not see those options and later on in the process I was caught in a very frustrating situation where I could not continue to verify my application with documents I did not have.
It would be important for applicants from overseas to work slowly through the application process and look carefully for the options confirming you do not live in the US and you do not have a US phone!
