ID.me Reviews Summary

The company has garnered a mixed reputation, with notable strengths in its identity verification service, which many users found secure and efficient, particularly praising the helpfulness of customer service during video calls. However, significant concerns were raised regarding the complexity of the verification process, which some customers found frustrating and time-consuming, particularly older users or those with unique identification issues. Additionally, delays and technical difficulties, including issues with document acceptance and login credentials, have led to dissatisfaction among several users. Overall, while the service is valued for its security, improvements in user experience and support are essential.

I had some difficulty because I'm not tech savvy plus not knowing the action requested by some terminology. I had excellent help finishing my partially completed registration with a very pleasant guide but I failed to get her name

Go to the Video Verification!
January 28, 2025

After multiple attempts over several days to verify my ID with the Self Verification choice... I was unsuccessful, even after following the prompts closely.
When I was unable to self verify... there was not a straightforward means to link to the ID.me customer service.
One attempt using the Video Verify... was successful... so go to directly to the video.;-)

I wasted uncountable hours on hold with Login.gov listening to maddening AI generated music and having an AI woman come on every few minutes telling how important your call is and to wait for an assistant.
After several hours I called ID. Me and found resolve.
