Difficult to do
January 16, 2026

Too many steps and the process may take you having to re start the process multiple times. The process is not compatible for someone over the age of 60.

System asked for multiple verification methods accross multiple unsecured devices tied in by Google. There are FAR more and safer practices now for verification using A. I. do NOT trust this company and their archaic methods of verification YOUR personal information. Need a legal team to look into this company or call the DOJ.

Even after updating my personal info to my new phone number ID.me sends the log in pass code to my OLD phone number, which is no longer active. When looking for help it says "log in and change the phone number" which I can not do because it will no longer allow me to log in. It seems impossible to get a real person to talk to for help.

ID.me for SSA data
January 16, 2026

It took me long long time to wait for video call. First time I could not speak out due to some technical trouble. Second time it went fine. Interviewer spoke somewhat too fast.

I needed to reset my security settings- and all I had to do was take a selfie. They compared it with my id on file- and that was that. Easy as can be.

Straightforward

Pretty straightforward and easy. The wait time was a little tedious but that's not something I realistically hold against them. Overall very user friendly.

Setting up my ID my account and downloading documentation needed. I was able to get into my Social Security Administración profile within 30 minutes. Set up an appointment for a name change within 15 minutes in the comfort of my own home.

ID.me for IRS.Gov lets you prove who you are online to get government services like the IRS, state unemployment etc., using one login after verifying your identity. It's easy to fill in the form to become eligible and you log on with a password. Go to IRS.Gov to research and/or create your ID.me account.

X getting Social Security information
January 16, 2026

I was trying to login for my Social Security information with my login.com site where I have my VA information. It would not let me do that. I then try the ID me and it did work. It was very frustrating though.
