Satisfied ID.me client.
May 21, 2025

Sure it's a must to do security check in but ID.me works with everyone that is established by the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT & safeguards our information from potentially on & offline risks of being hacked or identity theft victims of the digital underground and black market perpetrators. It's safe and helpful in safekeeping all your sensitive information with their services.

They can't even handle basic image recognition, their UI/UX is awful and their approach to design is to throw a bunch of useless buzzwords that don't reflect what they're actually doing. They said "everything is fine and validated!" And then said it failed, 6 times, and locked me out of my own account preventing me from access my own medical records. I am a developer myself and let me tell you: if someone can't handle basic UI and design there is no way in hell I'm trusting them with something like security. So if this company can't handle UI and design why should anyone trust them to secure their information?

Is it a scam?
May 21, 2025

This program is poorly designed, difficult to acces all the steps you have to repeat the photography and video steps several times. Through the process you get the feeling that is a scam and you do it because you need the money of your tax return. Why is a private company recording ALL your data? Why do you need face recognition? Who has access to this information?

I had an awesome experience with IDME. The person was very kind, very professional, and she made me feel calm as she took me through the process. She had a soft voice; she was extremely courteous. Her voice and directions were very clear and easy to follow. I think the best thing is that if I ever need it again, now they know who I am, and I should not have any problems now.
