Hello Charles. We’re glad you were able to complete your verification successfully. We appreciate your feedback! -T, ID.me
Took alot of time, with no benefit to me at all. Now I have more of my data stored in yet another place where I have no control and it can be hacked without me knowing anything about it.
It is not only useless, it is dangerous and a technological waste of time. Please kill it.

It was quick and easy. Clear with everything it asked for
I can now communicate to health officials that are difficult to contact by phone or even walk in.
Hello Michael. We’re glad you were able to complete your verification successfully. We appreciate your feedback! -T, ID.me
It took me several hours to complete the verification process. Text message links requiring me to upload photos of my state NYS drivers license failed every time. Mind you I was using a Samsung Note 20 Ultra. Not exactly a flip phone. Trying to find a way to use a computer instead was not easy to find. It took many repears and back and forths to find. An addition aggravation was having to endure a video call to show the license I just uploaded on my webcam. Which the agent couldn't make out. She then sends me the same text message links which failed last time. Only after using a zoom link was she able to read my NY License. If I were pulled over an by a live police officer they would not have had that problem. Relying on technology to handle simple transactions otherwise done in the real world without any issues is not the way to assist people seeking help. The whole process needs to be streamlined.

Fue muy sencilla la verificacion de mi identidad con ID.me, las instrucciones son muy claras y el sistema muy amigable, te dan muchas opciones de los documentos que necesitas mostrar. Todo esta muy bien organizado y te van informando el avance de tu proceso, el tiempo de espera para la videollamada despues que verificaron mis documentos solo fue de 1 minuto y el agente se presento de manera muy amable y las indicaciones muy claras. Es un proceso muy rapido, sencillo y confiable.
Very satisfied with the app. Fast and easy to complete.
Getting the picture of military ID cards in our case was not accepted the first three times. We switched to driver's license with veteran designation and it was accepted. Possibly clearer printing.
I waited no more than 7 minutes and the process was very smooth and secure.
