I had to have help to understand what was being asked. If I had not had a guide to go step by step with me, I probably would have quit. I think I can do it on my own now, but hopefully won't have to do it again.

I was able to use it for PA unemployment services. I had to upload documents to confirm my ID and this helped make the process relatively quick and easy.

ID. Me is awesome!
May 7, 2025

I am so glad to have signed up with ID. Me. Whenever I need to verify my identity and ID. Me is available, I select them and they are able to quickly confirm it is me. No waiting required and no need to provide detailed information to confirm it is me. I highly recommend using ID. Me! I trust them!

Painless process
May 7, 2025

I ran into a bit of a hiccup because I've moved and my current address isn't on my license (or at least that's what I think it was) but it was suggested I continue with video verification and that went swimmingly. Overall, an easy process and pretty impressive.

CONFUSION!
May 7, 2025

Signed into with the pass code I received from the TWC. Once into your website I was hooked up with "CYNCHEALTH!" I have no idea who CYNCHEALTH. Is! Then I started getting error codes over and over and over again. I finally got hooked back into TWC and all of a sudden I get a notice that my info was supposedly sent to them. First of all I don't remember ever using ID. Me in the past but did see something about a verification that was done on 2-24-24 I believe. I am not sure. Point being, it was NOT a please t experience using ID. Me!

Horrible - 10 letters? Really?
May 7, 2025

This entire thing comes across very sketchy, but seems mandatory? IRS can do better. At a minimum, taxpayers should have been notified. The whole process is not user-friendly and I still feel like I was raped for my personal information.

To access my personal information on certain sites, one needs to make sure it's only myself seeking it and ID. Me was easy to set up and use for that purpose.

Never received the email to start the video verification process. Sent a question to the help center and it was not answered correctly. It appears the question was not understood. Tried various times to access the NJ PAC site, which requires AD. Me, and was aways told I would receive and email for verification. This all took place over a 11 day period of time. Finally, I made one more attempt to access the NJ PAC site and this time it took me directly to video verification site. The wait for the video call was short and very easy. The ID. Me site should have a place where you can request the video verification. It would make the process much easier.
