It's a great way to access important information and organize your stuff in one place. It's simple and easy to access what you need.
I reside in Mexico. With your system I cannot receive calls only texts. Further, you do not accept a Skype paid for US telephohe number and finaloly I cannot change my current Skype number. The one listed *******282 is invalid and my new one is *******766.
I spent literally days wading through your sign up process unsucessfuly, Not until today with assissistance of your technician we finally were successful.this took over two hours.
Your system is just plain terrible. With the current system that ends the 31st of January 2025 it takes less than a minute to sign in and it is user friendly where yours is definitely not.

Segun mi experiencia vivida con la aplicacion
Fue un trabajo rapido y eficaz
I uploaded my driver's license twice, but ID.me continues to report my age incorrectly to Fleet Farm regarding an ammunition purchase, so the purchase fails. The requirement is that I be 21, and I'm actually 60 years old. If the Fleet Farm site did not require ID.me, then I could have purchased the product online, saving a 60 minute round-trip to the store.
I was not overly thrilled to have to sign up for this but it was necessary. It turns out they take security very seriously and I feel confident that my information is secure. I actually had a video conference with the agent at 2:00 in the morning on a Saturday. I can't believe that they have agents available at that hour but it worked for me. I have never used Zoom or any other conferencing software and even with the inexperience it still took just a few moments to get things going. I had to tweak a few settings in the Android operating system that I wasn't familiar with but it gave pretty simple instructions to follow to allow for permissions. Overall I am pleased with the service because it allowed me to access the Social Security Administration website as well as my local DES office. All's well that ends well.
Very Good experience, easy access, easy to open, very convenient
I was first introduced to ID.me during the pandemic and have used it in a couple of other instances for verification. It has been quick, in under a minute. My experience has been smooth with no delays nor glitches. Without ID.me, my last transaction could have taken days—every government entity should implement ID.me for efficiency and accuracy.
It was simple and easy nothing was hard to set up at all
I was finally able to finish the set up but verification seemed to be a bit involved. This is possibly due to an abundance of caution, which is wise. Just allow time and be careful with instructions. Once it's done, it's very helpful!
Don't be in a hurry. Read the instructions carefully. Take your time. It does work great.
It was fast and easy and they keep your information safe and protected from anyone
Id.me seems to be a system built by amateurs. It will frustrate your efforts to accomplish anything you set out to do on their website and leave you feeling extremely uncomfortable about having shared sensitive information with a website that is so poorly built and managed. Stay away from Id.me at all costs and stick with hard copy filings!
My experience with ID me was excellent very professional, fast and easy in short time, am very happy and recommended to others for using. Thanks
Too long of a process. Approximately two step verification would have been enough but the additional video selfie intermission was closer to 15 minutes then 15 seconds
Needed last year's tax documents to finalize my tax return. They helped me access the IRS website to obtain it. All together took 5 minutes to confirm my identity and I was in.
Great experience loved it. Will use again. Definitely a good app. Glad they use this. Was easy. Like it much.
Terrible stop, none, never again will I try or fill out or trust this site again
