Getting verified
February 11, 2025

I had trouble with getting verified though the self service and had to go to the video call option. I did not have to wait long for the video call and it was easy and quicker then i thought. After that i was good to go.

Overall, the tool was easy to use for my purposes. Definitely easier to use than other similar tools I've used for sites like Experian for identity verification. However, it took me multiple tries to get a video selfie accepted, I think it was because of the lighting in my video. But the error message was vague, so I had to retry with limited direction. Eventually it went through, but it was still annoying

Used ID.me to access my.Social.security
February 11, 2025

I am an expat living in Canada. Now retired, I wanted to access on-line my social security account--instead of driving from Canada to Washington state (and back) to the Social Security Adminstration office. I needed ID.me to verify my identity.

Using ID.me I now have access to my my.Social.Security and my IRS accounts.

The best of the best.
February 11, 2025

I have been using id.me for a few years now and the verification process is very easy and fast not to mention reliable. I added a new email to my account and didn't update it with the social security website. It caused quite a hiccup to me getting in touch with them, but I'd.me worked with me via a couple of video calls and they made the problem disappear in just a few minutes. I trust this company with my information and their service is remarkable.

ID.me is difficult to Register
February 11, 2025

Took me six hours to navigate registration. Code numbers to my cell phone for authentication of password.
Drive you crazy. It's repetitive and time consuming. Understanding the various methods of registation/verification, i.e Self, Video, Appointment, etc. IS confusing since you don't know what each process means or what is required. REGISTRATION process needs more clarity.
