There's quite a few steps to take but it also gave me a relief for the safety of my identity.
This process is very simple, they have a wide variety of documents you can use to prove your identity. After gathering and uploading the documents, the phone call process was less than 2 minutes.
Using the video chat was by far the easiest. The other option was easy but I would get errors
Satisfied and very clear speaking I would definitely recommend video verification to anyone that needs it
The website is very easy to use and I created an account very quickly. The website itself is very easy to use and I found all of the information I needed.
I am a Senior with very basic computer knowledge and skills so I knew that I would need help so I had someone with me on the phone. Thankfully one of my sons was home and he was able to do the picture uploading for me 'cause I was lost. So I suggest lining up the help before you go online and they can assist you along your way.
Hello Jean. We’re glad you were able to complete your verification successfully. Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback! - T, ID.me
I wish they'd send a better explanation on why I had to be reviewed or Id?! The process was a bit tedious sending pictures back and forth and the approval / response time was way too long! Hopping out of ID is easy logging back in for updates very time consuming! Just to be told this process will take another four weeks!
Can't stay logged on but it won't let me! It keeps taking me to my email and I lose my spot. I'm trying to file for spousal support for my daughter and I.
The process was straightforward. I am now able to conduct my business securely with the IRS without having to be on hold on the phone for hours. This is simply AMAZING! Thank you!
