I have had my ups and down with it but it's alright
The agent was excellent the best
The whole id.me experience is crap- hard to use
Absolutely the worst bunch of unnecessary nonsense to go through.
I should just come over the border and everything would be easier
Not everyone lives on the smart phone
Even when i clicked i don't have smart phone id.me still texting me links that i cannot click on my flip phone
Simple process, always good to have another discount option!
I recently had a potential employer-to-be explain that new hired employees have to use the ID.me verification system to get paid. So of course, I was in agreeance. BUT, what I did not like AT ALL was that the employer-to-be insisted that they set-up the account instead of letting me do it myself. Why?
Your company shouldn't exist. We have been logging into government websites for years without the need of all the BS you have added. You are a contract company that has made work for yourself that justifies your existence. Better not sell that biometric data you collect though, that will be another class-action
Works great! I was able to get everything I needed & was left very satisfied
Easy going. If I can do it anybody can do it. If I had known how easy it was I would've done it long ago.
I had struggled for several weeks trying to sign up for the new registration process at the VA and failed repeatedly. ID.me support got me set up in one quick session.
Would not trust any other team to Verify My identity
I'm in a rut right now, and with all the stress on my plate I could only assume this would be such a hassle. BUT NO it was fast easy simple and I wish I knew about it sooner. It was quick simple and I felt absolutely treated with the outmost genuine care. Truly so thankful
I had an overall good experience with the way it worked. I'm just baffled as to how the system failed to verify me while using a clear ID. Must have been a bad picture.
Everything was great but I can't see my W2 form yet
I was locked out of my EDD and IRS accounts. I spent less than 5 min on a video call and just like that I was back into my account. Thank you id.me!
It is what I needed to get the job done.and like this they make you use a system
Excellent, it was easy to receive a video call and the agent was non judgemental.
I began to create my account on my laptop. The verification process demanded that I move to my phone to take pictures of identification and upload from there. My phone was not adept at finishing up my verification process because I couldn't return to where is was directed, because I was on the phone. If I could have finished on my laptop, I would have been fine.
I was entering my information for a friend request leaving for work overseas. I didn't know which agency I was to register under so it was confusing to me that I needed to pick an agency to register under. Once I figured out the agency it became a little clearer to fill out my information.
