Worst experience
February 11, 2025

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

Don't do it!
February 11, 2025

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?

Overly complicated unnecessary company
February 11, 2025

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

Good but Could be Better
February 11, 2025

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.

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!

Creating my account on ID.me
February 11, 2025

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.
