ID. Me i am part of you NOW!
April 28, 2025

NOT EASY to fill the questions. USE 7&8 grade English vocabulary that it would be easier to digest the questions. Do not use idioms that means different things to people.

Highly recommend ID. Me
April 28, 2025

Extremely user friendly process and the agent verification was easy and you were walked through any technical issues that occurred like my camera and microphone setting. You do not have to be an expert in technology to use ID. Me.

I was apprehensive due the multi-step process to get an account set up and then verifying my identity.
Once I had set up an account, the process was very fluid, moving smoothly from step to step.
Quite impressive, actually. No latency and clear directions. Recommend you use the Google or Bing browser. The setup application does not appear to work with Firefox. This had me frustrated for several minutes.

Horrid. Quirky software on even something as simple as an Apple 6e smart phone. Got lost in finding tabs and heaven only knows what else. Ironically, even though I got lost after gymnastics to get ID. Me's face recognition to work, I was admitted to the IRS site. Spooky and not confidence inspiring as more than a way to allow the government (over which I have absolutely no influence) to enrich ID. Me.

ID. Me worked fine 4/15/25. You need a scanner or scan app that places scan files onto your device.
