2. Create an Account: Click “Create an ID.me Account.”  You’ll need to enter your email address and create a secure password. Make sure to write this information down and keep it in a safe place.
3. Verify Your Identity: Follow the prompts to verify your identity. You’ll need your phone number, email, and a government-issued ID like a driver’s license or passport. Don’t worry, the website will guide you step-by-step.
