ID.me is amazingly easy to use, locate information on and connect to other government websites. This is not necessarily my experience with government websites or for profit sites.

I used to have issues everytime I had any kind of change to my personal information. I would dread dealing with security personnel at Social Security. ID.ME was able to verify my identity in less than 3 minutes without any issues. It doesn't get better than that I don't think!

Waste of time
May 27, 2025

My experience was a lot of errors (yes I typed my information in correctly) and buffering. It's better to do the video call, but try not to get irritated because you'll most likely run into an error.

And then they had the audacity to send me a survey? My video call agent was great though. I should not have needed to get NEARLY that far but she made it simple. Bless her.
