Secure but not useful
October 14, 2022

While the system works and seems to be very secure you are not able to reset your username or password so you'll need to do it all over again next time you want to sign in.

NEELY & SOBIA ARE GREAT!
September 14, 2022

Neely & Sobia are excellent Customer Service Associates who value their work, and take pride in what they do. They are eager to help, and follow-through on expectations and commitments. They keep clients informed, and educate them thoroughly on whatever process you might be going through.

Saiful on the other hand is inefficient, ineffective, over-promises, and under-delivers. He failed to meet his self-assigned commitments and made the customer experience of dealing with him grueling. I truly recommend you request assistance from another Customer Service Associate, if Saiful responds to any of your queries. Otherwise, your issue won't be addressed, and you'll be waiting weeks on end for a resolution, or even a response.

The Best Possible
September 14, 2022

If you need to be verified by an agency, ID.me has the best possible online system I have seen. It was not super easy, but you would not expect it to be simple. They are going to say they have no doubt that you are who you say you are. However, having that understanding, ID.me has to have a demanding process. In the beginning they give you all the possible scenarios you could use to meet their requirements. As a result, you can find the one that fits your situation before you go through the process. Then you can have the paperwork available when you need it. The process moves along expeditiously and I was able to finish it in one day.

Finally but..
September 5, 2022

Well once I actually got it verified after 6 months of trying the lady was very professional and helpful now I need to know where my return is this has taken 8 months and I'm about to be evicted. She told me that it would only be a day or two and now it's been 5. I now need additional help and I am just getting the run around.
