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 is sad that we need a company to keep us safe from others trying to use our ID. But with this said, this program is very well done. I am not that computer savvy, so it took me longer to get verified. If you are like me and do not give up, they are with you all the way to the end. I had to do a video conference ( which I am grateful that they have that option if things do not go right). Well done ID.ME

I believe Government should fulfil such essential services, not contract them out. But as far as the quality of this service, nothing to complain about. And be warned everyone - to find two forms of ID, take acceptable pictures, crop/rotate/compress them, move them into the right place, then upload them took me hours.

Greetings my verification was very simple and the customer service representative that assisted me went above his job. He did not disconnect me when i was having technical difficulties connecting to verify my identity. He he showed my how to use an app I've never used before so I'm very happy with their service

I needed to upload some documentation that was needed for a claim I have. I wasn't able to do it online for some reason. The video call to an agent was fast and the agent was very helpful and patient. I was having camera problems.
