ID.me Reviews Summary

The company has garnered a mixed reputation, with notable strengths in its identity verification service, which many users found secure and efficient, particularly praising the helpfulness of customer service during video calls. However, significant concerns were raised regarding the complexity of the verification process, which some customers found frustrating and time-consuming, particularly older users or those with unique identification issues. Additionally, delays and technical difficulties, including issues with document acceptance and login credentials, have led to dissatisfaction among several users. Overall, while the service is valued for its security, improvements in user experience and support are essential.

It was a breeze!
September 13, 2022

Easy to get around site and get all the information needed for the video chat. Did take a little long waiting for the chat to begin but, only took a couple of minutes to get through the chat.

Pleasantly surprised!
September 13, 2022

I am used to serious Border Guards, bored security personnel, and officious government employees so it was a nice change to have my identity verified by an efficient, polite and pleasant agent from ID.me. The process was simple, quick, and the least amount of fuss for something that could have become complicated.

Secure but difficult
September 12, 2022

I felt that all my given information was secure, but it was difficult coming up with the documents requested. On the first go around it would have helped if I was told they wanted it in JPG format. I submitted it in PDF. No go. After figuring it out I tried again but since my state has a hold on renewing drivers licenses (mine is expired). No go. The system could not read my passport. No go. I finally went the slow route ( which really wasn't slow) video conferencing. Success. Agent was very helpful.

Great service
September 13, 2022

A great service representative answered my video call. The long wait times means you need to set aside at least an hour of your time to wait for the review process and someone available for a video call.

I'd.me assistance
September 13, 2022

Although my experience at first was a bit daunting due to verification process, once face timing with a representative experience went well. Representative patiently guided me through connection process. Asked a few questions and reviewed ID provided to complete verification process. Verification finalized quickly.

Pretty good site
September 13, 2022

This site was pretty easy to understand. Only small inconvenience I had was a couple attempts to confirm my identity documents for them to go through but other than that, it was great.

She was Fast, Patient, knowledgeable and professional. There was a lot of trouble on my end but she listened and worked with me the best she could. I could barely hear her due to my location and service but she heard me perfectly and assisted until she completed the video accurately.
