ID.me Reviews Summary

The company has garnered a mixed reputation, with notable strengths in its identity verification service, which many users found secure and efficient, particularly praising the helpfulness of customer service during video calls. However, significant concerns were raised regarding the complexity of the verification process, which some customers found frustrating and time-consuming, particularly older users or those with unique identification issues. Additionally, delays and technical difficulties, including issues with document acceptance and login credentials, have led to dissatisfaction among several users. Overall, while the service is valued for its security, improvements in user experience and support are essential.

I wish that the IRS would advise people about, what is involved so a person would know, if Direct File would work for them.

Easy to use
April 22, 2025

It was very easy to use. I am not tech savvy but did not have any problems. It guides you through the process. You get a code sent to your phone to enter into the site. I was not intimidated at all by the technology.

Easy opera
April 22, 2025

Can get all information I want from this website. For example, on my social information I don't have to go in the office. Ask my question it's so easy. I can just get online and search all I want information in the right place.

It's very helpful
April 22, 2025

Using this app is simple, it had difficulty identifying my photo and I had to do multiple uploads but in the end it was accepted with the help of a video call from one of their agents. Please have your documents ready that you are using to identify yourself you will need to show them on the video call.

Not a computer nerd
April 22, 2025

I am not very computer knowlegable and found it difficult trying to upload the documents. I wasted to much time on the self service when i reached the point of submitting the second phone number the system would kick me out. The virtual chat was somewhat easier but still had difficulty uploading photos. Once i got through to the chat person he was very helpful. However once i got on the irs site i am still not sure if my info was received and processed to take care of the issue.

4 Stars out of 5.
April 22, 2025

Good. I wasn't informed about my tax status for the last four to five years. Instead, I've received misinformation & disinformation from some unprofessional officials in Ramsey County, Minnesota, who have systematically targeted my child & me out of prejudice & discriminatory retaliation. They've exploited our disabilities & vulnerabilities to mistreat us. Regrettably, systemic failures within the bureaucracy & a "blue wall of silence" have only worsened our situation. Please Send Out An S. O. S.
