It was good
February 14, 2025

Time effective and worth my time. I needed to take care of ID. Me for enrollment and it wasn't hard. Took a few seconds to get myself prepared to do everything because I'm impatient.

Actually works every time!
February 14, 2025

ID.me works great. You don't have to jump through hoops. I get so tired of sites that don't accept my password or need fourteen different ways to sign in before they believe its me! ID,me has none of that!

Given these choices by the program, my selection of III was "accepted". When data input was completed and the review of input arrived, the Roman numeral 3 appeared as three small i's. Iii
A final question invovled a review of input, and if everything was correct. My situation-the answer is NO. After multiple loopings of answering NO, the overide was to accept use of the three small i's. Iii as my suffix-which is not correct. I am able to access ID.me, but with trepidation.

Not for the novice

Disaster
February 14, 2025

Normally, ID.me works easily. Today, it was one of the worst disasters ever. I spent from 10 - 4 trying to get in a get a new PIN. Still, I never received anything - no success whatsoever. Ended up driving downtown to sign tax return papers (I already paid what was due) in person and the elevator was broken. My accountant's office is located on the 7th floor. Ended up, my accountant had to come to my house and I had to drive through rush hour traffic to post office. Next thing you know we'll have to file in Bethlehem -
