I tried to get my teacher discount for Black Friday using ID.me in a number of retail sites. Half of the time I was rejected. I question having to tell this site so much information about myself (full name, home address, SSN#!) when other verification sites simply ask me for my professional email and then check to see if I appear on the school faculty list. ID.me requires scanning either teacher ID, teaching certificate (again, more private information) or screenshot of district faculty list. I struggled with the last one because apparently the computer did not like my screenshot. As I said, it was time consuming to do this and I do not like the invasion of privacy- particularly giving away my SSN#.

I wanted to check on a notice I received from the IRS but I had verify my identity through ID.me. At first, I'm like why I've had my IRS account for years. Is this scam? So, I clicked off it a couple of times. After doing some research, I found out the government has implemented this program, to help verify people's identity, and prevent fraud. For example, I had a friend that had to do the same thing to login to him Unemployment account to do his weekly certification even though he had been receiving his unemployment checks for a couple months now. For me, I live in a very rural area, and I don't have a physical mailbox on my property. I have a P.O. Box. I've had it for many many years. When you do the selfie verification, my DL's has my physical address. All my secondary documents like utilities will have P.O.Box didn't know what the IRS had but I think it was my P.O. Box. So, when I went through all the selfie steps, it couldn't verify my identity. I had to do a video chat anyway. My rep was very professional, helpful, and friendly. The process took about 5 minutes at the most. I wasted so much time using the selfie option. I would advise using the video chat especially if you use a physical and PO Box address to conduct certain business. You never know which one the system will have you to verify.
