My ID.me experience was great. I had to be redirected to upload documents I have uploaded before but the guided questions and instructions made the experience smooth and easy to follow. The human contact during the video chat was helpful and understanding. The feedback and options were straightforward and direct. I just hope that the results will be favorable as I dealt with uploading my documents.
Hello Mene! Thank you for sharing your experience with ID.me. We sincerely appreciate your feedback. -ID.me Social Response Team
I had my number changed since my last sign into IRS.gov so I had to create a new ID.me. Which was a hassle at first getting the necessary documents, taking pics and then having to do a live video call to validate everything. BUT when you realize this is for your safety it's worth it and the live video call maybe lasted 5 minutes and the rep was professional, personable and friendly.
