My experience is really great. When I have problems with my ID.me account, there are support service staff to help with me. And they provided detailed information to help me solve the issues I encountered.

It took a lot of patience to set this up. I had to keep repeating answering the questions over and over because it wouldn't accept them.

July 8, 2025

My account is locked because I tried to update my info from ITIN # to SSN. I did what the agent from the chat told me to do and it didn't work. I need my taxes transcripts urgently.

Easy and slick tech
July 8, 2025

The easiest use of technology I have participated with in a long time. I loved how easy it was to move from using a laptop and intuitively knowing that taking a picture of ones drivers license would happen with a cell phone, therefore, the link was sent to use said phone to use the camera to upload. So smart.

After resetting my password and updating my information in the system, I was able to be verified while still inside of Lowes and it immediately updated on my Lowe's account in the app as well. We have been able to use the discount on every purchase since. Easy and really fast.

First time user of ID.me
July 8, 2025

The process was easy to accomplish.
Any photo upload problems on my part were identified. The video selfie was awkward. Perhaps a short video on the total process would have been helpful.
