Having an overhead light above your ID is a no-no, that results in a bright ball of light on your ID. Place your ID in a lighted room but over to the side.

Complete waste of time.
September 20, 2025

The first one ran me in circles for no reason, then hung up on me after going through the entire process. The second person could not hear me unless i screamed, LITERALLY SCREAMED, when i could hear very loud background noise from her end, then she said it was me(not one person had a issue with me all day, before AND after) This is by far the WORST SERVICE i have ever encountered and i will NEVER recommend this TRASH to anyone for ANY SINGLE THING.

Only option since login.gov is so broken
September 19, 2025

Your requirements are stringent and I guess that's a good thing. However, for people that don't have a mobile phone or for people whose bank documents don't show the Social Security number…. It's quite a pain in the neck to use your system. I imagine it's even worse for people who live abroad and don't even have a US bank account or a US phone number at all. You guys should really come up with a strategy to make things easier for such kind of people.

ID.me is a crimnal organization.
September 19, 2025

ID.me has too much information on people. I was forced to use it. Government coercion to pay their cronies who run ID.me. I despise it with every fiber of my being.

ID.me is a fairly painless way to verify identity. Once you have gone through the initial verification, it consists of logging in and being sent a code to verify.

ID>me Set up
September 19, 2025

It was a good experience. It took me a few tries as I am not real familiar with this type of set up.
But it ended well, and I gave myself a pat on my back and a "Well Done!"
