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.

Verifying your ID
June 25, 2023

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!

June 25, 2023

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.
