How do I deactivate my Me account?

Answered by Frank Schwing

To deactivate your ID.me account, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to your ID.me account by visiting the ID.me website and entering your login credentials.

2. Once signed in, navigate to the “Sign In & Security” tab. This tab is usually located in the account settings section or under your profile information.

3. In the “Sign In & Security” tab, look for an option to close your account. This option may be labeled as “Close Account” or something similar.

4. Click on the “Close Account” option. This will initiate the process of deactivating your ID.me account.

5. You may be asked to provide a reason for closing your account. Select an appropriate reason from the provided options. Additionally, you may have the option to enter additional comments explaining your decision, though this step is usually optional.

6. Once you have selected a reason and entered any additional comments (if applicable), click on the “Close Account” button or similar button to finalize the deactivation process.

It’s important to note that deactivating your ID.me account will permanently delete your account and all associated data. This action cannot be undone, so be sure to carefully consider your decision before proceeding.

If you encounter any issues or have further questions, it’s recommended to reach out to ID.me support for assistance. They can provide specific guidance and address any concerns you may have during the account deactivation process.
