My agent was professional, courteous and explained clearly and if I had any questions.
Pain to use, and now it wants 50 characters... and theres probably an I'm not a robot comming up
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.
Fast, efficient and easy to follow instructions. Now to add more characters la de da
The experience was explained easily. Instructions were easy to follow. And there were multiple checks to make sure that you are who you're supposed to be.
Pleasant and easier than trying to get through on the phone…
As I quoted earlier I was surprised that doing this on my own was USER FRIENDLY! Let others know don't even hesitate just wing it and you understand
How. How helpful this site is to use.
I will refer a friend and the agent wasn't like others that I had before he was nice and helpful and greeted me with an beautiful smile.
Cool something good but it can be like made simple allowing a link from an primary with proper identification to agree both standard and sides
My experience was easy,fast,and very informative. I thought I was gonna have a difficult time obtaining the information easy as 123
In order to get access to a government website I had to verify my identity. It was not simple, but after getting all my information and documents in an acceptable format, I took pictures with my iPhone and downloaded to my computer. After that it was a snap! Great job ID.me!
Take pics on your phone and email them to yourself. Download the zoom app in case the gov't web thing doesnt work. And lastly, it took me longer to figure out getting pics onto the site than for her to ok it and be done. Go. Do. It. Now.
