ID.me was simple and quick
March 23, 2023

I needed to prove who I was to the IRS in order to get my refund. Using ID.me was simple and quick once I had the documents that they required. The process from start to finish took less than 15 minutes.

I had an ID.me account set up with the California DMV. I quickly learned that I had to go through the IRS' version of authentication.
Other than that, it went just like they described. The instructions are crystal clear.
It is better to have a smartphone for the biometrics section of the process.

Mrs. Daphne is an ID.me Angel
March 23, 2023

This was my first time using the IRS ID.ME service to get verified via video call. Of all the video call services I've used prior, I must say that Mrs. Dalphne was one of the best I've encountered. She has an overall welcoming and uplifting attitude. She was patient and helpful with making sure I did everything right. Her patient, warm smile and cheerful through the process was greatly appreciated. Too bad I can't work with people like that on the regular. The world needs more people like her in the workplace.

This experience for me was very frustrating discouraging and stressful.
The process is so difficult and complicated when such should be something simple. This experience with the Id.me process took a lot of my time because the process is so complicated and difficult that you really have to put in extra foot work and effort.
