I am so grateful that I was able to verify my identification to the IRS using ID me. Much better than having to make a dreadful phone call. Plus I can be more thorough with my proofs of identification so that when I am identified it is unmistakenly me.

I was in a bind to get clearance to my information from a government agency. After other attempts had failed my son suggested ID.ME. It took some time, as they were very thorough, but the results were very good.

For the first time in my 86+ years of life, the IRS questioned my identity. Fear and stress prevailed. Was I hacked? Did someone steal my identity? Were there preparation errors? Was the questioning related to a refund this year? Even the initial letter troubled me. However, after my tax preparation professional verified ID.me, I followed the directions and verified my identity. Within two days or so, I received acceptance of my return. A positive outcome for a stressful experience!

Super satisfied with ID me
May 26, 2022

I lost my Maui Jim sunglasses and really wanted a new pair. As a law enforcement veteran of 44 years I used my sun glasses on duty for a long time without misplacing them. I reached out to Maui Jim and was referred to the ID me website for a potential discount. I was skeptical until I finished things up with a 40% discount. So many more items to choose from with great discounts. I will keep! Y eye on this site as I shop for future needs.
