Quick and secure identity verification
February 24, 2025

I was able to verify my identity with the documents available to me. It made the process of getting a replacement Social Security card much easier and now I will be able to get my state's Real ID before the coming deadline.

Not great
February 24, 2025

I have been trying to log into the IRS's website through ID me for about 3 years. I have not received one single stimulus payment, or even successfully got logged in to fill out the necessary forms. I get all the way to the point where I've done the video selfie and verified all of my information then it shuts down and tells me that it can't process my request at this time try again later.
Just my own experience. I know a ton of folks that had no issues... I'm just "that" guy 🙄

Quick varification
February 24, 2025

I logged into my ID.me account to obtain the discount authorization code for the purchase of a new vehicle. Uploading a photo of my credentials was very quick and easy. Verification of my credentials only took about a minute and I was able to proceed with the manufacturer.

Difficult
February 22, 2025

It was hard to upload the documents... When I had to do the video call... The lady was super nice & very helpful... I think that's how you should be able to show proof of who you are. Video call & have the documents with you to show proof who you are.

Great experience
February 21, 2025

This was my second time using ID me and both times for life-saving. I'm not real tech savvy but I made it through fairly easily. It was so helpful and your person on the video call was very helpful polite and made the whole experience wonderful. I am so glad that there is a company like yours out there to help when people like me are in need of having our ID verified so helpful and it really sped up things going through IRS. And I am truly thankful for your help.
