Easy
February 5, 2025

Quick and easy process. There was a wait time about 20 min to talk to a agent through video but it went by quick. The person I spoke to made me feel at ease and was clear on what I needed to show him. Habe your documents ready and you should be good to go.

Easiest way to prove your identity.
February 5, 2025

I've used ID.me every time an organization has this option. It works very well. I have a app that owes me money and for 1 year I've been trying to prove who I am. This would be over if they used ID.me!

My first IDME Experience
February 4, 2025

I was very unsure what to do and I didn't feel there was enough explanation on the website to make me confident. I found an article elsewhere describing the process and that was most helpful.
I wanted to find a way to safely transfer funds electronically to the IRS because mailed payments postmarked prior to the due date are now either late or not timely opened. This is my first attempt so we will see how it goes.
