I had trouble loading documents because my hand shake too much and I can't take clear pictures when I went to the video and worked with an employee. I was able to get everything done and that was wonderful.

Verification won't place me in the right subgroup, even afternoon following troubleshooting.

Support is completely automated. No humans that will actually read and answer my question.

Terrible. Avoid if you can
February 25, 2025

Using ID.me is the only way to login into the IRS website, so you have to do it. It took two hours to get verified, I think there was trouble because we recently moved. But people move, this is life. There has to be a way to verify people who move. There was no customer service to contact for help, no number. You can submit a ticket, which I did but all I got a crappy autogenerated response with links to articles. Absolutely terrible. If you can avoid Id.me, avoid at all costs.

Took several attempts
And absolute worst intrusion of privacy is the video selfie they're trying to compare it to a driver's license which for 95 percent of people does not work and in the second process of having to have somebody verify my ID over a video call that still another intrusion of privacy what are they going to do with that video picture think of all the illegal e things that they can do with it

Scure me
February 25, 2025

I was very satisfied by id me from the security point of view but also the access to information by previous activities, it reassures me to be the only identity of the information, thank you again for the willingness to protect our sensitive information in a catastrophic and formal way

Calm and relieving.😅👍
February 25, 2025

I tend to imagine the worst possible scenarios sometimes when going through new or uncommon experiences so when this video call went very smoothly with great ease and swiftness it made me feel relieved and happy, hopefully everyone else will be just as lucky.

Too much information asked for
February 25, 2025

These companies are asking for too much personal information which can and does end up in the wrong hands too often. This should be an option not a must with government or any other agencies.

Trusted!
February 25, 2025

The ID/me verification process was simple and direct and didn't take any time at all. The trustworthiness of this program is top notch and allows me to securely get into my Social Security account to view my future retirement earnings, access the Department of revenue so I can check my taxes as well as access other government and state programs and services. Wish I'd known about this and had it years ago!
