Beware the taking of photo's.
June 9, 2025

I used my iPhone and my iPad to send photos of my driver's license. All were very readable to the eye, but the computer could not do it. Finally, I received a video contact and that took care of the problem.

So tedious and frustrating
June 9, 2025

I'm generally a positive person, so it takes a whole lot of frustration for me to give a bad review. Every step of the way, I had to make multiple attempts to get through. The app just kept me going in circles for an hour. Unless, you really do need this for access to a government site, don't bother. I don't think I really trust this.

What I can tell is that it was quick and very easy. A few days ago, I had an insurance agent who showed me how to get quick and easy information on my SSA. Prior to that, I had trouble accessing SSA to learn anything about it. And I discovered that it appears to be quite secure, with no hackers able to access my data. I must thank you for this innovative method that makes it simple for us seniors to perform.
Thank You and God Bless all of you.

Worth the time!
June 9, 2025

You shoot them a Pic of your govt ID then you do a quick 10 second selfie. Their security software compares the two to confirm you really are who you say you are.

If I am not me, who am I?
June 9, 2025

I have no issue with ID.me. After all the steps to create the account, SSA says: Nope, not you. I am no further than I was before. I say that because, is it not the point of this to be proof of Identity?

60 and older
June 9, 2025

Had to get my daughter to complete this task for me because there is no other resolve for us who doesn't have the ability to use the computer technology. That is very disappointing for most people 60 and older that does not have the skills.
