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!

ID.me walked me through each step with ease. I found it very simple to use. It was well worth the short amount of time it took to set it up. Thank you.
Excelente, amabilidad, todo perfecto. Todo estuvo bien muy amable y me ayudó en todo la persona. Y de verdad muy bien la ayuda en todo.
Sad. Disappointingly hard to navigate. Way too complicated for the average non-technical person. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
My experience was very good, I would recommend this to all my family and friends. It let you sign in fast without having to type everything in. Thank for the website
Your personal information easily accessible for you, but safe from the public. It has everything you need from work history to tax information, all at your fingertips.
Very quick service, the staff were very friendly as well on top of being really friendly they were also super professional!
It would take days as it has to get these people to recognize and really they still haven't it's a game with ny. Gov and not pay it's a joke
Easiest quickest thing I've ever done and I would definitely recommend anyone to do it my wait time was less than 10 minutes but the video called literally took no more than a couple min
ID.me sucks. Double verification when used with Va.gov. Myhealthevet was great till we were forced to use ID.me.
Easy to use but don't trust them with my information. I can't submit this review without using 100 characters.
Very fast and extremely secure, I was surprised about the complete privacy protection. I pray it's true!
The system keep failing on me. I couldn't get my information through. It kept saying sorry can't go forward system down.
Muy buena por seguridad...de datos Para evitar estafas...de robo de identidad Por el echo que nos protege y los datos están en buen cuidado
10 attempts to upload my driver's license using both my android phone and and I-pad. Nothing worked. You cannot simply use your laptop or desktop, you need another device. What should have taken 2-3 minutes took almost an hour. No troubleshooting available when it won't load your picture, just denial after denial. NOT for those who are not tech savvy. It is not at all user friendly, especially for a site cinnected with federal programs that will be used by many. A frustrating experience at best.
I established my account in 2024 and have accessed IRS and soc.Security sites several times since. The basic set-up takes a bit of time, but it really pays off later.
I tried to use this for my taxes in 2021 and it never did work. I had be to a video of myself. This time it was a selfie and was super easy.
The ID.me identity verification process was very straightforward. It was a prerequisite for filing a form with the New Jersey Taxation authorities. It required that I use my smartphone to take photos of two identification documents and upload them. After the uploads ID.me prompted me to get on a video call with a representative. That went smoothly, as well. All in all it was a quick process, which was a pleasant surprise. In this day and age, I'm glad to see such a robust process being used for identity verification.
I had an excellent experience by using ID.me. The website is very helpful and easy to navigate. I would recommend ID.me to my family and friends to access available services.
