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.

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.

I had to give out a ton of personal information, SSN, photos of myself, drivers license, etc, (everything but my shoe size). It was not only unpleasant. After I was done and everything had been accepted, I still couldn't log in to Id.me and I still can't access my pension account which I've been getting to for many years with just my username and a very string password. It just forwards me to ID.me where I get stuck at "Verify with your device." I have accounts at many major financial institutions, all of which I can access with a username and password. This is beyond ridiculous.

Using i.d.me for unemployment
June 13, 2025

It was not a fun experience. I tried to create email and password and repeatedly would get our records don't match which made no sense since I was creating an account. Somehow, it finally stopped saying that and after many attempts I was able to create the account.

Horrible experience
June 13, 2025

Horrible. Took me 2 hours to complete my account. They need a live person to be able to talk to. Talking to a robot/AI is ridiculous.

After completing everything I received this message from Salesforce telling who I don't even recognize. "We can't log you in because of an issue with single sign-on. Contact your Salesforce admin for help."

Account Issues
June 13, 2025

Needed a live person instead of computer generated response.Took days to actually get someone who could help me. Extremely difficult to use if you get your account suspended for some reason and the online options do not work. Company needs to have a phone number and someone live who can respond to customer issues.

Very user-friendly and quick
June 13, 2025

This was actually very simple to use. The process is very user-friendly. I had been worried it would be complicated, but it took me less than 15 minutes and I didn't encounter any issues or confusion.

My IRS experience
June 12, 2025

At first it was a little complicated but I got the hang of it. Second I wanted to ask questions about penalties and why did I receive a penalty before I received being notified how to get a payment plan.

Took 3 hours for my wife and I to enroll in ID. Me
Multiple times revived a message on PC Screen or Smart Phone screen (i Phone)
Stating "SOMETHING WENT WRONG" then taken to multiple pages of what could have gone wrong without any clear explanation. One big nightmare with no ability to get any answers, explanation or help.

Excelente. The important thing is to have the required documents, the rest is practical.
They have a well-designed and secure system that can't be hacked. It was very useful for what I was looking for, and I also found it to be a great learning experience.

The ID.me website advised me of the documents needed prior to the video call. I had the documents ready for the call. Once the video call began it was a smooth easy process to verify my identity. The agent gave me clear and simple instructions for the verification process which made the process very easy to complete.
