ID.me enrollment was simple
June 14, 2022

I needed to make an IRS payment within 2 days. The process used to confirm my identity with ID.me was simple and completed within 10 minutes. Prior systems required IRS to mail a passcode, etc - which takes weeks. This is a convenient method - Good job;.

My review
September 14, 2022

I can only hope that my information is secure. But there are too many "tech hoops" for non-technical people like me to jump through. I don't text, I don't have a high-tech phone and I don't use apps. The systems these days rely too much on these things and they forget that there are people who, for one reason or another, don't use these hi-tech devices. There needs to be a simpler way to do this.

Quick and easy.
September 14, 2022

As I have stated.
It's only a good 30mins waiting time. For the next agent to help you. It's pretty simply and easy... yeah, you to fill out a few things. But, you got nothing else to do... just take a breather. It's just 30mins... And once the video call starts... it's only 15mins of answering questions and don't forget to have your documents with you. Your going to need it. 0u0.
