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.

Good and safe system
January 20, 2025

I feel the system is very secure. The verification checks are needed and excellent. I also like the system is user friendly and easy to navigate around. For me and most people, these are very important features.

AVOID IF YOU CAN - Creepy agency
January 20, 2025

Utilizes servicemembers VA records as hostage to gain access to more personal information. Absolutely disgusting that the VA has resorted to this type of bullying.

Used the tool to set up access to my IRS account. Phone app required many retries, even after a "successful" selfie session, then the web app and/data processing to complete account set up required multiple retries and ultimately said it failed for no stated reason, but yet the account actually was set up and worked to give me access. One way or another, it is not trustworthy. Either it should have said the set up was successful, or the account should not have been set up because something was wrong (and hence the failure message).

Using I.D. Me is really quick. I use it to sign into IRS. Being that it has been some time of signing into IRS...I didn't have to worry about remembering my password.
