IT SUCKED
April 14, 2025

THE NEW ID SYSTEM WAS A PAIN IN THE $#*!. I'VE BEEN OUT OF CONTACT FOR 1 MONTH. FINALLY GETTING THROUGH THIS WAS AS PAINFUL AS GOING TO THE DENTIST. I THINK IT WOULD BE ALRIGHT NOW THAT I AM THROUGH THIS PHASE.

I had one problem with my name. Some documents do not include the middle name (not initial), and I was rejected because my name on my initial personal information was not in ALL CAPs. I suggest going through the entire process to the required documents. The copy or write down the available documents and check any requirements. Close the application and prepare your chosen documents and print them in COLOR. When you are sure your documents will be accepted, sign back in to ID. Me and complete the information. This process took me two days so take time and go slow. The video process is very easy and quick.

Don't waste your time

You have to give several points of disclosure (to be expected) but now my picture of my PA license is now on a 3rd party site and could be hacked. PA should make this process more user-friendly to ensure compliance.

After three days of getting told my information did not match some requirement, I was locked out of my account. I am still locked out and have been told I need to contact Social Security. This product does not work.

April 14, 2025

I have used other face id features before with other apps and company's. I feel like a lot or most of them take too long to verify or activate what I'm trying to do. The other ones make me retry the feature several times and sometimes they never seem to work. With ID. Me it only took me a few seconds to verify and there wasn't any unreasonable y

This is a horrible app
April 14, 2025

More errors than progress. That is concerning when dealing with sensitive information. I kept being kicked back to the sign in page. I spent well over 45 minutes between my phone and the computer trying to get this app to work. Unfortunately it's the only way to sign in to the IRS site.

I have no issues with the Social Security sign in. This one is a nightmare.
