My experience with ID.me was positive and straightforward. The platform guided me clearly through the identity verification steps, which helped me confidently complete the process. I was trying to submit a claim for benefits, and ID.me's secure system made it easy to upload my documents and verify my identity without hassle.

Have an ID.me account that works fine for the irs and tax paying. It failed completely with SSA. SSA could not validate my ID from ID.me. What is the purpose of an ID service if it cannot ID its customers. Its help section is ai driven and says "sorry I am not trained yet on your question" I asked for help logging into SSA from a valid ID.me account.

Everything was as advertised. Wait times are a little long but in the end it is worth it to secure your information.

Good experience using ID.me
July 10, 2025

Paying tax online is easy with ID.me. Other methods were time consuming and relatively more difficult than using this.

Very difficult experience with ID.me. Over a month of complying with all uploads and providing all personal details, I still do not have access to SSA.gov. In fact, I have a new issue trying to log into SSA.gov. Use an alternative app to access SSA.gov if you can.

Getting an ID me verification
July 10, 2025

I recently had to be ID. Me for verification for unemployment. At first when ID. Me came out, it was kind of hectic. You had to fill out the application, then take a selfie picture of yourself take it to a pacific location to be ID me verified. Once you go through the first phase of being ID me verified after that, it's extremely easy the second time you have to use ID me verification😁👍🏽

Pearl from Pennsylvania was very professional, respectful with a sense of humor. We spoke with patients and she admitted she was there to help me because she is working for me. Pearl needs and deserves a raise.

Automated service sucks
July 9, 2025

I was locked out of my account then when asked to give a different email address the numbers switched my email address. Then when I tried to switch it back they told me I made too many attempts to change email addresses 1 time is too much? Then I couldn't get anyone on the phone and I was able to receive the text confirmation and still told me I wasn't who I was. So yeah a little more than annoyed.

Horrible experience
July 9, 2025

This is totally invasive and makes you feel like a criminal. For me it was to use an electronic health record. I have practiced medicine for 30 years and have never been made to go through verification just to use the medical records. Very humiliating
