Broken Thy Name Is Government

I am trying to get my VA login changed so that I can actually access things.

Gods forbid they leave the system alone, but it was working so I guess it needed another coat of paint.

I made the account.  Easy.

Click verify...  Goes to a page, tells about the process and never starts.

Go to the VA medical side, use the login, it demands to verify...

Upload pictures of my driver's license about ten times.  No Bueno.

Suggests that I can do it in person at a post office.

Yes, I want to get up early and do that.

No life outside bankers hours for me!

Oh, and it's not something they can just DO.  You have to get a bar-code from the verification web page and they'll give you a time restriction to get to the post office.

Oh joy!

PS: I did finally get to the document that started this adventure!  Hurrah!  There's not a damn thing on it that needed to be encrypted so well.  Booooo!

  1. Which log-in did you use?
    After the first time using ID Me, I've never had a problem logging in.

    I think I tried the clonky .GOV log-in, but ID Me just works better.

    1. Trying to get Login.gov to work because I don't want a third party to have the info. Prolly not a rational feeling, but.
