Acceptable
May 28, 2025

It is a means to an end. Personally, there were steps that could've been excluded and there were things that most definitely needed to remain as part of the process.

... It's better than nothing...
May 28, 2025

My personal opinion is that ID.me is a work around for SSA users with no US mailing address, however I would rather use a federal application which is not an option in my case. PS. My experience with ID.me is close to zero have just established ID.me account therefore my rating is irrelevant. Will move to fed. Application as soon as I'm back to US soil. Yes I do have concerns regarding how safe information I have provided to ID.me... Could you please comment on it? Appreciate.

It was easy and informative to re gain and learn about my personal information. My life has indubitably been in flip flopping shambles for years. (Meaning) my credit report/scores, financial issues/business, relationships, education & etc. were misplaced for 33 years of my life. I turn 34 on May 24 2025 & I am utterly & gratefully thankful to and for everyone and everything that has helped me & me helping them in any way & every way possible. I think I found a loop hole!

Excellent Service
May 28, 2025

My experience was phenomenal. He helped verify my identity in less than 3 minutes! It was very quick and easy. The wait time for the video call was only 3 minutes so that was very fortunate and he told me the steps to do next so I wouldn't be confused. He was very respectful. I would definitely recommend this service for anyone who needs help quickly

Difícil de confiar en esta aplicación porque no lo sabía el proceso, me tocó averiguar al irs pero la chica no me dijo que era por medio de otra empresa y no menciono la aplicación ni el nombre por eso dude mucho en hacerlo, pero si me dijo que me van a llamar por videollamada para verificar mis datos y sobre todo si yo era la persona de los documentos y no era fraude. Por eso me animé hacerlo

IDme for Govt sites

I enrolled in IDme to access Social Security website. It was easy to enroll and enter data except take and upload selfie from camera. I had to try three attempts to upload selfie as it needs very bright area for taking picture.

Not As Difficult As I Expected
May 28, 2025

I'm a senior who isn't terribly tech savvy. After having a SSI account for nearly 60 years, all of the new id verification took me aback. I was confused and stressed. But, when I followed the instructions it wasn't difficult, and the video call representative was very kind. It was all wrapped up and I could once again sign into my SSI account. However, I'd love to know what prompted this big hassle out of the blue. Do have my suspicions...

ID.me experience
May 28, 2025

Excellent. After numerous failed attempts to use login.gov for my SSA account, I tried ID.me and was done in 10 minutes. Login.gov gave me "try again later " 3 times, and " lost connection" twice over the course of 3 days.
