Reviewing ID me
April 28, 2025

My experience with ID me was efficient and seamless. It saved me a lot of time. I was able to use it with just my cell phone and needed no extra devices to complete the process.

I was surprised to be on a video call with an administrator so soon. The process wasn't long at all. Everything took place the exact time that was mentioned.

ID. Me allows fast secure access to key government sites - I use it to ensure more secure access and ask my friends to use it for their own communications as well.

Took awhile to get identified, but everything was great once completed and able to use the site. This was second attempt to get through the personal identity process. Seems to be good to prevent identity fraud.

I didn't chose to use ID. Me. It was my only choice to submit a simple request through a government website. It required several excessive and unnecessary steps just to get access to the Archives website. And then after uploading a lot of info including biometric data from my phone camera, I had to agree to them sharing the data with others in order to finally access the website I came to in the first place. If you're going to play the role of Big Brother, at least try to be more subtle about it.

No ease of access. Went through a long sign up process waited 2 days to do a video call. No explanation as to what the problem is when the address is on the government issued identification.
