I used ID.ME for the first time and it was so easy to use anyone can setup a account. And I strongly recommend that all of us that have business with the different agencies listed right here on the site all you have to do is setup your account and there you go. Your account is verified and secure..

Easiest verification process ever
March 3, 2025

I had an issue with my verification due to a cell number but thankfully this website uses video calling to use as a form of verification. Thank Goodness, the process was seamless. Definitely recommend it over competitor.

Being an expat with a non-US address, printed in a foreign language in utility bills, and with various versions of my name appearing across records, I could not be verified by Login.gov. ID.me was really the only option, unless you want to spend countless hours on overseas calls without a certain outcome.
I had some trouble with legit docs being rejected but realize ID.me are holding a high standard to verify. Eventually it all worked out, but lack of commenting is the only reason I did not give 5 stars.

I had a hard time getting this app because I live in a foreign country. Now that I have it, I connect easily and without the long waits of verification from the government red tape.

Confusing and hard to maneuver and was uncertain about steps to continue and surprised at next step to what is needed! Not a fan! Don't feel comfortable with your company about my security! Think old system of two factor is better!

A yearly issue
March 3, 2025

The site is fine. The only problem I have with the website is. It seems every year I have to reenter my information. Once the information enters the system. The only yearly update should be if any of the information has changes

Quick and easy

If you have ever signed into Medicare, Social Security, IRS etc., you will need to update to an ID.me password. It is simple to set up and you only to need to do this once, and then you can update the info on the website or the app on your phone.
