Although the wait time for the call was not amazing, given it was early on a Monday morning, that was to be expected. The process of uploading documents was simple and straightforward. The agent I was connected with was professional and very helpful.

Quick and Painless
July 11, 2022

The verification process was quick and painless. I've already had my Driver License photo (front and back) saved to a file from other processes so this made the ID.me process very quick and painless for me. I just uploaded my already saved DL photos then did a quick selfie on my phone from a link they sent me and I was verified soon after. Very streamlined. That really works for me.

Nice surprise
July 11, 2022

I needed to check a recent tax return details and was told I had to now create a new sign in with ID.me. I was a little chagrined but started the process as I understand it is more secure. The whole process took only a few minutes of my time. It was easy to follow and I was able to access the IRS website quickly and easily. I am impressed and offer Kudos to the IRS for making this so uncomplicated!

Long process
September 14, 2022

ID.me requires an early wait just to get in video. This process combined with the process of other applications makes things frustrating. They should streamline the process and not be cheap about money in order to make customers happy.
