    Hello @Felixgarza3

    Your ID number is a 7 digit code consisting of letters and number in the format of LHP7-4G3. It is located at the top of the page for a person underneath their name, next to the birth and death dates.

    However because you are still living, only you can see your ID number. For privacy reasons, the records and IDs of living people can only be seen by the person who created the record.

    IF you give your ID to someone, they won't be able to see the record for you.

    You could give the person requesting your ID, the ID of your nearest deceased ancestor.

    Felix

    Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    Just in passing ...

    Question: HOW did the OTHER User/Patron actually contact you?

    ▬ User Messaging, in 'FamilySearch'

    ▬ Direct "E-mail"

    ▬ Through, ("Private") 'Messaging", in this Forum.

    Please advise/clarify.

    IF, it is any of the above; THEN, you DO NOT need your 'FamilySearch Person Identifier' (PID); as, you SIMPLY respond to the 'Message', that you received.

    I hope, that this may help/assist, somewhat.

    Felix

    Again ...

    Question: HOW [ EXACTLY ] did the OTHER User/Patron actually contact you?

    ▬ User Messaging, in 'FamilySearch'

    ▬ Direct "E-mail"

    ▬ Through, ("Private") 'Messaging", in this Forum.

    Please advise/clarify.

    Then, we may be able to provide, a better (more clearer) response

    O.K., Right ...

    User Messaging, in 'FamilySearch'

    For starters ...

    Here is a "Knowledge Article", in 'FamilySearch':

    How do I use FamilySearch Messages?

    https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-use-familysearch-messages

    https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-use-familysearch-messages

    And ...

    For future reference ...

    How do I send a message to someone who contributed to Family Tree or Memories?

    https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-contact-or-message-a-user-who-contributed-to-family-tree-or-memories

    https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-contact-or-message-a-user-who-contributed-to-family-tree-or-memories

    Good Luck.

    I hope, that these may help/assist, somewhat.
