One id for all transactions
June 18, 2026

I like the idea of verifying identity only once, then use the id.me online for all my legal transactions. I would highly recommend to friends and family.

Quick and easy
June 28, 2026

It takes a little more time to prepare the required documents. But the interview was less than expected, which helps me to quell my worries.

I verified with ID.me about 4-5 years ago. My password was still good to log on with, but they wanted to verify my data all over again. With passports and drivers' licenses lasting about 10 years each, and a SS card lasting your entire life, I do not fully comprehend why the repeat verification process was necessary. Then they rejected my passport. It was the same passport they accepted originally. Said the name did not match my name. That was a lie. A month later they accepted the same passport, and the same document uploaded for it, and the same passport they already had on file from before. That month of delay meant I could not download my SS 1099 to give to my CPA for my April 15 2025 income taxes. So I was late getting it to her. No, I am not a happy camper.

Improve waiting time
June 27, 2026

Very frustrating waiting for the video conference. It took hours waiting for "waiting time 30 minutes" but
Keep on changing the waiting time to a longer time. This is one area where you can really look into to
Improve your system.

It was easy to use it, had no issues by getting into the site that I wanted. Id.me has simplified the identification process, I have already recommended a relative to use it for IRS documentation purposes.

Convenient
June 27, 2026

All of the documents were uploaded, and yet it still took me multiple days to get in contact with an agent. I stayed on hold for hours once I got the agent it went by smoothly, but the whole process of having to speak to someone after uploading the information was a lot

2-Step Security

Great, not only was I able to speak with an agent, she was able to see me, take the photo to view the match on i.d. sent, and hear my voice. Great way to minimize fraud.

Know your phone
June 27, 2026

Great experience in the long run. Had a little hick-up getting the video call finished. But it was my lack of knowing how to use my phone.

ID.me is like 123
June 27, 2026

ID.me is easy to use and makes your financial accounts more secure. The government uses it for Medicare, Social Security, some time unemployment offices. I have felt safe using it since they started it.

LONG LONG LONG WAIT TIMES!
June 26, 2026

ID.me was extremely un-user friendly with extremely long wait times. The entire process took 2hr 40 minutes. The first agent was rude, disrespectful and hung up on me before I could ask a follow-up question. Because she disconnected the video call, I had to call back a second time which meant a second wait time cycle. The second agent was professional, respectful and patient with me as I am a senior citizen and it takes me longer to process auditory/verbal information. Overall, I would give the entire process a BIG FAT "F"! Verifying your identity should NOT have to take 2hr 40minutes to do!
