ID.me Reviews Summary

The company has garnered a mixed reputation, with notable strengths in its identity verification service, which many users found secure and efficient, particularly praising the helpfulness of customer service during video calls. However, significant concerns were raised regarding the complexity of the verification process, which some customers found frustrating and time-consuming, particularly older users or those with unique identification issues. Additionally, delays and technical difficulties, including issues with document acceptance and login credentials, have led to dissatisfaction among several users. Overall, while the service is valued for its security, improvements in user experience and support are essential.

Acquiring an EIN
March 25, 2023

I had never tried to take photos and "upload" them to a website before. More precise on screen instructions for how to complete that process would be helpful. I had to attempt the process three times before I understood what "button" on the screen to push in order for my driver's license photo could be "attached" or added to the screen. The video process was a new experience for me and now I understand the need for that added security feature, however, it was not what I was expecting. The agent was very helpful, pleasant and with excellent "people" skills—-she helped me understand the process and what would happen following the video.

Meh
April 24, 2023

It was easy to sign up for. However, having to sign into it for every single government agency is a pain in the $#*!. It should have a multi app portal.
