Simple and Secure
March 27, 2025

I was going through a very stressful situation due to tax identity theft. And was actually procrastinating the id-me log-in process. I don't have a computer and do everything on my android and/ or tablet sometimes having to use both simultaneously. UGG! Also I absolutely 'despise taking selfies, which was part of the process. Anyways the whole process was kinda cool and really quick and easy. I totally stressed over nothing.

Great Service
March 27, 2025

I thought IDme was against me. During my first encounter with IDme my ID could not be scanned after two hours of effort. I was a.pissed consumer. My cell phone was a little dated so I used Chromebook. Now I am able to use IDme.simply at an array of agencies. I am extremely satisfied.

Great Service

Easy to use and safe. Fast and through. Not to much problems or Hassell. Easy service once you get passed some stuff that is hard to get passed.

Not a good experience!

Way too complicated and the Ai system they use is not capable of performing its function. Good luck trying to get the system to recognize satisfactory photos.

Not interested in hashing out the problem again. This is a government requirement in order to speak to the government on line.

I'm feeling extremely uneasy
March 27, 2025

I used ID.me to do some business with the IRS but the process was so fast and easy that now I'm assuming it was probably a Chinese or African scam and my identity will be stolen. The Federal government would never make anything this easy

Verify military ID Ed

It was fairly easy to navigate this process. I will encourage others to do the ID me. I'm old and most internet sites are difficult for me.
