This is unnecessarily, difficult, frustrating, and ineffective. You can easily waste way too much time and effort to do what isn't really difficult. I do not recommend.

Awesome and very very secure!
April 13, 2023

I did have help from my tax accountant so I was able to get through the process. I think it would have taken me a lot longer without help because I'm not tech savvy. Anyone can do it as my phone is a piece of junk and it still worked, even the facial scanning!

Extremely difficult
May 13, 2023

The system that they have in place is long and repetitive and stressful. I had the most difficult time proving that that was my identity which I don't understand why because that is me. I am him. And potentially now will have my benefits denied and I will have to redo my application all over again and miss out on 2 months of benefits that I was supposed to receive because of the difficulty I had trying to get my SDI claim through EDD it's ridiculous

The software assisted me through the process of establishing credibility in identification and made it quite pleasant. I began with a great deal of apprehension, but completed my verification feeling comfortable and accomplished. Even an older person can complete this identity verification process unassisted by family members or support staff. Easy. Quick. I highly recommend ID.me.
