Confusing
February 4, 2025

When you open a business form and it takes you to your personal Social Security instead... it's confusing. There's 4 places to choose how to enter Federal forms. Better write down, where you can find it, what you signed up with!

This site should never have required a picture ID and a video selfie upload. This company has all your information on a server that can be stolen by hackers, now they have a picture ID they have a video selfie of you, it's absolutely ridiculous how the government allows Companies to do this. And if they are hacked and your identity is stolen they will never be held accountable for it.

Easy to use and secure
February 4, 2025

Based on the method used to confirm identity, ID.me seems to be a very thorough option. It not only uses upload of picture ID but also uses a selfie video. The whole process only took about five minutes.

We consumers are worn out by the myriad registration and verification tasks we are routinely subjected to whenever online conducting business. In most cases despite cheerful promises to the contrary, these tasks quickly turn in to a painful and protracted process and a source of considerable ire and anger. But nothing could be further from the truth when using ID.me which has extended my convenience and confidence across a whole range of important governmental portals. From DMV (formerly a big pain since inception of REAL ID) to Social Security to IRS and Medicare, I am delighted to see "ID.me" at sign-in and can securely proceed with success.

Finally a Fastlane access secured
February 4, 2025

The days of live interactive customer support are long gone. While directing access through online portals Live chat bots, and limited online chat support, On a recent government search, was having no success accessing the listed drop down needed. Then, a pop up appeared on screen for IDme, Explaining by creating a IDme account, my access to the government and many additional secured sites would be easy as 1-2-3! Always sceptical, I proceeded to setup an account. Took only a few minutes and once they processed the needed security documents for me. I was reviewing my needed forms and all other needed information. I don't do reviews, I apologize for the lengthy rambling/ My review on IDme. Is finally a User friendly, easy setup and 💯% secured platform to connect me to important and personal needed information/ I would recommend this to everyone. No hesitation. Good luck
