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.

Smart Phone expertise needed
May 20, 2023

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.

Terrible experience
May 20, 2023

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.

Straight to the point, kind and courteous. I was hesitant in the beginning, but it turned out to be quite pleasant experience. This is the first time I've had success dealing with services like these, and I usually give up and leave the page unsatisfied. B it this time it was totally different, and Am quite pleased with the outcome. Thank you very much.
