Very necessary
October 6, 2022

I am just so grateful for something like this being made available for me. It's a shame that this is needed but with the amount of fraud happening today it is very necessary.

Excellent
October 6, 2022

Excellent customer service! I initially began with the chat box and Taki was very patient and helpful. She took me step by step and waited until my video call was complete. My video call agent was very professional and quick. My verification went through with a breeze. The internet has been very bogged down which is why I had to resort to onsite help.

It took 5 days for me to finally be able to get into my unemployment because of ID me I think it's two-time consuming and I think it takes too long for the person to get identified when sometimes these matters need to be taken care of a little bit more rapidly

Good support link to VA benefits
October 6, 2022

It's pretty tough navigating through our benefits online and ID.me has been tasked to bring it all together under one umbrella. Still a few growing pains, but they're on the right path.

The humans, both email and video call were excellent. The automated system used to upload and verify the documents needs a ton of work. 5 days is how long it took for something that ONE HUMAN with ID.me was able to finish for me in 3 minutes. Stick with Human to Human interaction, since most people needing verification have access to video cameras or webcams. If they don't want to use the cam, then it's their loss.

Mostly great experience
October 6, 2022

Used for IRS ID verification.
The site navigation is highly user-friendly if you're even a little tech-savvy.
I wish I had been able to do the "self" check option but was disabled due to some odd technicality wherein they told me my phone number was not linked to my name. I tried again, and still the same issue popped up. So that was a waste of time. Highly annoying. I had to dig up a couple more documents in order to do the video call option instead.
The service agent I video called with was very pleasant and helpful.
