Annoyingly cumbersome
September 5, 2025

Too complicated, got stuck in a loop and then had to wait for almost 2 hours to hold up my documents to my camera for verification.

ID me and VA website
September 4, 2025

This program allows me to securely login into my VA account without a big hassle. When I try and login to defense finance and accounting, it's almost impossible with the methods that they require you to use. Thanks for having this program and making it easy to use it's pretty seamless

Very Frustrated!
September 1, 2025

I have been trying to verify my name change to log into social security. I have submitted my ID and court documents several times and I keep getting denied with no clear reason why. There is no way for me to contact anyone.

Keepers of the Gate
August 31, 2025

Id Me is like standing guard for all things important behind one gate/vault. So far the goal to keep personal data safe is being met. I haven't heard of any breaches as many are happening in these times and have to be reported by law. I just received a settlement from a company that breached employees data in 2023. ID Me saves authentication time and provides peace of mind across our many platforms logging in and out and remembering all info to get access.

ID me. Verified idenity
August 31, 2025

My experience was that your idenity will be kept in strict privacy and no one else will be able to commit fraud using my information because I D me has your photo so that secures you.

User Friendly

Our company Information Architect asked if I would login to ID.me to use my Veteran status so our company could earn a discount from DELL to order additional laptops. Setting up an ID.me account was extremely easy and took a couple minutes.

Do it. It's worth the time.
August 30, 2025

I've had ID.me for many years. I've only used it to join GOVX.com. I recently found they also provide discounts on items for first responders. I love the discounts and it's worth to take the time to use ID.me.

SAD experience
August 30, 2025

If you ever decide to get a new smartphone don't forget to login to id.me and SSA. Change your old phone number to your new one BEFORE you stop use of your old phone or you will be very sorry you didn't.
