A good feeling experience
August 19, 2022

Excellent Easy Fast. This was easy to navigate and complete. I feel very secure with the application and know that the IRS not only collects taxes but watches to make we are protected from fraud.

Ghost ID me
September 18, 2022

To whom it may concern I had a zoom call with ID me. And the gentleman who I spoke to told me someone would get back in touch with me while I was receiving email I'm still waiting that was 2 months ago so to say my experience is very frustrating and disappointing that's how I rate you guys they had nothing less than a one star if there was a half or a quarter I probably would have took a quarter store I'm sure you guys can do better thanks

Absolutely awful (-5) stars
September 18, 2022

I have been trying for almost 3 months (May 2022), to correct a technical mistake with the website, because I am unable to receive any emails from this website, in spite of everything I have done.
This is important because I've been trying for almost 3 months, to verify my identity so I can receive state benefits in the form of unemployment.
They are absolutely the most awful company I have ever dealt with. Someone said it better, "a bunch of robots & a bunch of predictable generic answers and articles and not a person you can speak to about the stuff that falls in between".
It's been beyond exasperating. A company who does 73 million in business but doesn't have a customer service department worthy of any star. What is a person to do? The online customer service group is simply atrocious, non existent and useless to be honest.
Trying to find alternate way to get verified because waiting for these guys is crazy stupid and a waste of my time. Thanks a lot for nothing ID.me. You're screwing me out of much needed unemployment assistance. Ugh

Very Pleased
August 19, 2022

It's been a few weeks now, so this won't be lengthy. I had trouble getting into my account and the lady representative helping, was the kindest soul, so patient and stayed with me on the phone until problem was resolved. She even stayed on the phone to make sure I could still log back on with the current new problem resolution. Very helpful for the non tech that I am.
