Shoot for security
August 16, 2022

For a simple person like me it's a bit overwhelming with a lot of hoops to jump through but I guess the security was worth it all as I don't worry about my identity being robbed now at all.

Me atendió una agente super atenta y muy amable pero resulta ser que aún enviando mi ss y ID como quiera no fue identificado cosa que es ridícula porque al parecer llenar taxes a mi nombre es más fácil para otros que para mi persona. Nunca me resolvieron nunca me enviaron los chavos que eran de mi hijo pero nada a mi no me hace falta que lo aprovechen.

Great Service
August 16, 2022

ID.me solved my problem about trying to get updated information to social security. Social security uses the 3 credit reporting agencies to gather information. Sometimes they have your information wrong. ID.me got my correct information and I was able to get my social security card to replace my card that was damaged. They are simple, straight forward, and they get the job done.

Five stars
August 16, 2022

Five stars, because my customer service representative was professional and very patient with me no matter how many questions I ask she was so calm it scared me, because I never had someone to speak with me in such a mild tone manner, my rep so calm she didn't show any signs of being upset or anger. If I had customer service representatives like this at all times I will always give 5 stars, however this is my first time giving a customer service representatives 5 stars. Again thank you so much ma'am keep up the good work, I wish I could talk to you and video chat with you again on a professional level
