I found the process the process to be very clear. I had an expired drivers license and wasn't sure if I could use it. The support page was very helpful on how an expired license could be used. The instructions on each step was clear. The agent was easy to understand. I liked how you are notified by email when you are ready go progress to the next step.
My experience is the ups and downs of life but my story and my challenges are also help someone else to be able to detour away from the things that causes you to make the wrong decision rather than the right
It was terrible and still has not been solved. Something is wrong with your system and I was not able to get verified by ID.me for Norwegian cruises. It was embarrassing.
Knowledgeable and professional staff! Didn't have to wait to get my information done and they knew what problems would be included!
ID.me never assisted me with my login issue despite submitting multiple support tickets. On two separate days, the AI assistant, Roy, left me "connecting to a live agent"; the first day, I waited over eight hours, and on the second, I logged in at 5 AM PST but remained "connecting to a live agent" the entire time. The system is evidently flawed—no phone number and lack of human interaction simply do not work. I urge ID.me to put the $194M funding from the GSA to better use.
ID me makes it very convenient for me to log into the government sites that I need that have a tendency to be easily manipulated by scammers. With ID me I know that I'm logging into an actual website for an actual government office and that my identity is secure. Thanks ID me you guys rock.
My experience with I'd.me was very smooth it went well as I plan thinks to my headache on my right side
My video and identification was successful and identifying and then here comes the error code 8809
ID.ME facilitated my personal data protection process. I recommend it 100%, excellent customer service, excellent super secure website and recommended one more satisfied customer.
If you live out of the USA, you might not have all the documents required easily accessible to you. Register quickly!
The folks at ID.ME were very helpful and amazingly non-bureaucratic! Thank you.
I need to talk to a live agent because I don't like chatting or texting
Everything is going well and I'm glad. It was helpful and easy. I can just say thanks.
A very difficult process to setup one's ID.me. Too many steps. Needing to upload personal documents and personal details, makes one feel what the HACKERS need to get into your personal account
