I went through a link in ID.me for a discount. After going through a lengthy hassle and providing personal information, I was verified but told the discount didn't actually exist!

Confusing
April 23, 2023

Very difficult to set up an if and password because you have to use Facebook or Google or another form of app and not just id.me.confusing for a person who is not that internet savvy.

It was frustrating at first not ID me fault, it has to do with device issues. I think the face scanner should be set to device quality instead of latest technology. This would help with a faster outcome for those on a deadline. All in All however I feel it's a great tool and a great way to verify the correct individual.

FAST AND SUPER EASY
March 24, 2023

I had no idea that such a service existed. Of course I attempted the self verify for the IRS a FEW times with out success. I had to bit the bullet and live verify with an agent. It was 10pm at night and thought I would have to wait until the morning, I was wrong. An agent connected within a minute and we were through everything and I was done with in 5 mins...SUPER EASY...the agent was VERY NICE...i wasted more time trying to self verify. It was awesome

Finally successful in supplying the information needed but after much frustration. SIMPLIFY by using as few words as possible. The letter received telling me I needed to verify my identity was six 8-1/2 x 11" pages. One would have done the job.
