Why A Mandatory UPGRADE?
May 15, 2025

Ask yourself why, once you have provided all the information required, they then tell you to UPGRADE to a premium level? You should get ONE ID that covers everything you need to do with the VA. And ONLY ONE.
Obviously these are third-party apps which SMACKS of private profiteering to me. Then there is the rampant ID theft---and reselling (no matter what they say)---of your vitally sensitive information. Even the DOD was hacked.
Enter at your own risk.

Overall process was very easy.
May 15, 2025

The whole process was very easy. Very concise instructions. The entire process took me about 15-20 minutes. I did require help when it was time for me to take my selfie.

Website works.
May 15, 2025

The website was very easy to use. The authenticator app, however, doesn't seem to work for me. I've had this problem in the past, and I thought it may be fixed now, but it is not.

No reason to discuss
May 15, 2025

There's really no reason for this because I already rated my entire experience. But the situation was OK and I was just glad that I was able to access information that I needed.

May 15, 2025

System works fine. I had a little trouble uploading my ID but once I figured it out but it wasn't the problem with the system, it was my problem for not carefully reading the instructions.

I signed up for this because the government claimed it was the best and most secure way to contact them. Every time I've tried the system it failed to recognize me, so I gave up until it was the only way to contact the IRS to get my refund going. My password failed. My 12 digit ID code they gave me failed. Using my Google account that had previously been linked to the system failed. Uploading pictures of my IDs failed (no reason given). Finally after a brief wait, they hooked me up with a video chat, so a live operator could verify my documents. I changed my password, but have zero confidence it will work next time I try to use the system.

Only one way to use ID.me
May 15, 2025

Don't use if you don't have a smart phone. ID.me is useless if you don't. NO! Same crap as trying to confirm my cell phone number.

3 weeks. 3 God damned weeks
May 15, 2025

I was attempting to sign up for paid family leave.
Had to verify my identity with id.me.
Took 3 weeks to ever get a response, no number to call, just a ticket to fill out.
Complete and utter nonsense.
