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.

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.

Misleading and creepy
March 31, 2025

They have been spamming me unsolicited daily advertising and miscatagorizing it as essential "administrative" content. They intentionally obfuscate their public/private nature, serving as the sole vendor of the IRS to handle ID theft. They require biometrics and immediately abuse your trust by holding you hostage. They offer to link you here to leave a review when giving feedback, but after detecting less than favorable content the link provided fails to connect. No offense, but they funnel reviewers to this site instead of a more ubiquitous place like google or yelp. The important 1-time chance to save a back up key to 2fa didn't copy when the copy action was confirmed. This site deleted my entire review after making me subscribe, and it further adds to the greedy pilfering of our online life by requiring an account before making your voice heard. And then they can't even respect the individual by ensuring their mindfully created comment was captured. So I had to rewrite it all again. This review started with 2 stars but after all this aggravation they lost one more.

Frustrated
March 29, 2025

The old method of accessing the site to check on secure messaging, reordering meds, etc. The new method is bulky and unresponsive in these same areas.

Time wasting pile of crap
March 28, 2025

I had no choice but to use this signing in method. It took me over a week to get through the multi-factor authentication. I don't know why I had to input the same information endlessly, only to leave in frustration and come back the next day. Whoever developed this process can go f*** themselves

I use one verification method to access important information for personal use and for business. With ID.me I don't have to use multiple accounts to get what I need.

Somewhat confused
April 6, 2025

Had to change password. Process was confusing as the explanation was too many steps and what to look for next: text or email and which link to follow. Also, must get tax records for 2years and SS info for 2 years. And verifying your NJ license by phone pix. Many steps!
