71 years old and I flew through on my iPhone. Very easy and quick. Site was very responsive! Thanks!
Using ID.me I was finally able to set up a MySocialSecurity account with a foreign address and mobile phone number. The procedure was not very complicated - the needed codes came through quickly and the e-mails also - and it was easy to upload the necessary document files (photos not accepted). Once they were approved I was informed of how long the wait would be to speak to an agent so I could decide whether to wait or come back another day. The video chat was also very easy (in comparison with a recent attempt at my first Zoom call) and the agent extremely friendly - it took just a couple of minutes to show her my identification.
Excellent and helpful examples and response time or reply too anything to proceed

Their servers never saw any such messages (even after I resent them about 10 times). In order to enable two-factor authentication your email has to work. And so forth.

The support specialist was great. However the most awful part of the experience was your AI software not being able to read or identify my information with the documentation I was submitting.
