It was good. But the wait was way longer than what there were showing, it was on 30 min. For 10 to 15 mins. Before it went down a minute.
I have used ID.me on many occasions to be verified as a military veteran and as a first responder. The verification process has always been simple and fast. My information has always been kept safe. They do a great job for us and I appreciate it.
Slightly different inputting information was hard.

Hello Greg. We’re glad you were able to complete your verification successfully. We appreciate your feedback! - T, ID.me
I need facts from a past experience that was not positively relevant. I am still trying to find out whom has taken advantage of my innocence.
It is very difficult to navigate using a smart phone, older people will have a difficult time viewing a smart phone. Clicking and uploading documents is almost impossible.
Hello Sid. We’re glad you were able to complete your verification successfully. We appreciate your feedback! - T, ID.me
The agent was friendly and polite. I didn't feel rushed or talked over. I recommend using ID.ME
Very stressful and took me three years to jump thru the same hoops over and over again with submitting the same documents over 50 times. Still am wondering why I was told to update my documents and add my birth certificate in the account and when I went to do so and finally got jumped thru that hoop you guys were claiming that my new phone number isn't on the account which it is. *******475
Also had to keep restarting video
Completely something I will never want to go thru again. You guys need to have better communication on your end one agent tells me one thing and we get disconnected then I get connected with a new agent that has no clue what I am talking about.
