ID.me Review
June 26, 2023

It was kinda easy, and not near as nerve wracking as it used to be. It wasn't a long drawn out process that left me frustrated and drained so badly I want to cry or already am. So, I really appreciate it very much. But I also like to talk to an actual human being.

This site made it easy to verify my law enforcement/first responder discount. All I had to do was upload my SF50 form.

Too many steps!
July 26, 2023

I personally felt from start to finish there were way too many steps involved in this process. I understand the need for security and being safe, but some of the questions were excessive.

Foreign address and Verified
June 26, 2023

Excellent experience. It did take a few hours to complete, but the help documents guided me so I was ready to take picturres with my phone of my ID and I knew what was coming next.

The system tripped a bit on my foreign address so I had to switch from my paycheck stub to my Canadian Driver's Licence. Be ready to pivot!

You must have original documents so dig up your social security card, etc.

I used self-service and they added a video meeting to finalize it. Very friendly, professional agent. When my Canadian cell phone wouldn't allow video and audio, he called my US cell phone on record and we changed to it for the virtual meetting. I would suggest you have two cell phones for authentication.
