I tried and used id.me because of the changes the irs was going through than from like it was in the past. And the next day on the where's my refund website I had a date for when my taxes will be in my account. It was a reliever. I even was able to see any questions I needed answered right there on id.me website.

ID mismatch
May 22, 2025

There seems to be a mismatch with my identity. I checked on my SS retirement application a week ago and I login with no problem. This time it could not ID.me. My legal name is Michael Kent Brooks, but for some reason my SS card number shows a name "Mike Kent Brooks" All of my ID: Driver license, Military ID, Passport and Birth Certificate use "Michael" as my first name. Can you help me fix this issue? Please help me rectify this login issue. *******847

I am verified
May 22, 2025

I had a great experience I would recommend it to anyone very secure, and very professional. I was also able to view my Social Security information and my IRS Account information as well as my medical account information because id.me Made it all possible. I'd.me is an excellent source of identification verification. I would recommend it to family and friends and also entrepreneurs.

Very easy to use.
May 22, 2025

It was very easy to use. The only problem was an error when using Chrome to take a selfie to identify my identity. After multiple attempts, I still got the same error that my browser settings weren't showing the permission to accept the camera, even though they were. I had to end up using Firefox instead.
