The easiest, streamlined process for the best discounts around! The cash back option is incredible too! Easy process to upload documents for verifying your identity.
I wanted to get a military discount when going on a vacation cruise. I was told to show my discharge papers I needed to use ID.me. To do this, I needed to fill out a form which initially appeared quite simple. Not far into the process, I was required to check off questions which had nothing to do with my needs. There was no option of "other" or any place to write in a reason for needing the documentation. I finally just checked off an option so that I could move on. After moving forward I was required to show a copy of my discharge papers via a downloaded picture. I did this twice and was rejected both times. At this point, I realized the papers were relatively small (8 x 11) and 46 years old. While they looked clear to me because I could enlarge them manually, I'm sure it would be difficult for a scanner or company representative to see them. However, at this point it became clear that there was no way to get in touch with a human being to help me resolve my situation. Has so far been a totally frustrating experience.
I used ID,me to log onto IRS.gov to file my taxes. The experience was easier than I had anticipated.
Thank for identify that it was me not noe one use my information and using my son for taxes
5 hours at my VA clinic with a tedious setup. Was NOT the tech assistants fault. System had too many glitches. I was 10-11 vet there.
Getting set up on ID.me was far easier than my several failed attempts at the others.
I found IDme to be very user unfriendly. My hands shake & I had trouble uploading my photo ID. I had to type my password about 15 times on my smart phone because it kept getting rejeted. Signing up for IDme was a very frustrating experience, but I finally succedeed& all is good now.
The site was easy to navigate and allows you with many options to use for your identification process. The wait times for reply was timely. The video chat to verify your documents was very simple and the agent was very professional, friendly and helpful. I had great experience using the ID.me website.
Ease of operation. Online directions were clear and easily followed.
Easy breezy access to IRS and other government agencies. Worked great. Secure
My wife and obtained an IP PIN. ID.me was a real challenge. It bounces from desktop to smartphone, back and forth multiple times, asking for proof of existence with email addresses, SSNs, phone numbers, driver's licenses, passports and physical addresses over and over and over. After about an hour of this, I was finally directed to the IRS site for the PIN after asking for our banking information (why?). For my wife, she couldn't get verified which required a video session with a live agent. After being verified, she was sent to the IRS website where there was no link to get the IP PIN. It took a web search on "IRS IP PIN" that took her back to ID.me again. After entering the ID.me password, she was finally sent to the appropriate IRS site where there was a link to the IP PIN. We thought we were home free but upon entering the same bank information, ID.me rejected it. We had to skip that section and just get the IP PIN. Then came the reviews, again, over and over with Captchas
By Sitejabber that won't let me proceed ("processing" forever).
