How the internet proves it's you Your identity is scattered. Your driver's license is in your wallet. Your passport is in a drawer. Your Military ID is who knows where. And every time you need to prove who you are (whether to file taxes, access government services, or verify your identity online), you're digging through drawers and snapping photos of documents. The ID.me app solves this problem. It's how the internet proves it's you. One verified identity that works everywhere from the IRS to the VA to hundreds of websites that require secure verification. And here's the bonus: once you're verified, you unlock rewards you never knew you were missing. Student discounts. Military benefits. Teacher savings. First Responder deals. Hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars you've already earned, just by being who you are. What the ID.me app does The app has two simple tabs: Wallet and Shop. Wallet: Store your most important IDs If you’ve used ID.me before, you already have an ID.me Wallet you can start using right away. Your wallet stores your passport, passport card, driver's license, state ID, and your ID.me Legal ID, a verified digital credential accepted by the IRS, Social Security Administration, Veterans Affairs, and more. Your ID.me Legal ID is unique. It can't be stored in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. It's the key to proving it's you across the internet, and it travels with you across every device you own. Lose your phone? Your IDs are still safe and accessible. Important: This is secure storage, not a replacement ID. You cannot yet use stored IDs at traffic stops. Think of this as a vault for your most important documents, not a digital driver's license (yet). Shop: Find rewards you've earned The Shop tab shows you deals based on who you are. From Veterans and Students to Teachers, First Responders, healthcare workers and more, verified communities get access to the best savings. Tap a deal and the app takes you directly to the merchant's site. You'll complete your verification and shopping there. The app is your starting point and your guide to the rewards you've earned but might be missing. Even if you're not part of a verified community, you still get access to hundreds of cash back offers. Why ID.me is different ID.me stores legal identity documents and connects you to rewards tied to who you are, not just what you buy. This is the only wallet built around your verified identity. It's independent, works across every device and platform you use, and it's how the internet proves it's you. How it works 1. Download the app and sign in to your wallet 2. Upload your IDs securely (we use advanced verification technology, including NFC chip scanning for passports) 3. Browse deals in the Shop tab 4. Tap a deal to shop directly with the merchant 5. Prove it's you, unlock your rewards, and save money Who this is for • Veterans and active Military who want to access their benefits easily • Students looking for discounts on everything from clothing to software • Teachers, First Responders, and healthcare workers who deserve savings • Anyone tired of missing out on rewards they've earned • People who want a secure, independent place to store important documents The bottom line Your identity unlocks opportunities. The ID.me app is how the internet proves it's you and how you find the rewards you've been missing. Download the ID.me app and start saving today.
