Be patient and methodical
January 17, 2025

The process will take longer than you expect. After you have selected the ID you're going to use, photograph the FRONT and BACK of each ID. You may need to upload both. Don't trust the countdown clock. The wait time can increase partway through. Be patient. It will end.

Simple, easy to set up, and quick
January 17, 2025

This site made it simple for the user to access their most secure information at a couple clicks of a button, all you have to do is provide all documentation for verification (which took less than 5 minutes to get done, if you read the instructions and prepare your information beforehand) it's a swift process, took an selfie, waited a day or so i believe to be verified, and now I don't have to worry about all these answers to the security questions I forget alot, just a fast 2 step verification code to enter, and just like that I'm in

Fed Up with ID.me
January 17, 2025

Too many hoops to jump through just to get an account. Takes forever and then when you type in your e-mail address that you have used forever, it gives a red! And states that your e-mail address is not a valid account. You then proceed to use another of your e-mail addresses that you have used forever and once again you get a red! And states that your e-mail address is not a valid account. Ask for too much personal information and then wants Face ID! Really folks?

Rest assured!
January 17, 2025

I feel confident now my information cannot be used by others. I am a senior and afraid that I will be a victim of fraud. Now I feel confident my information is safe and the verification process is secure.

No choice but to use it to get to your IRS account. Thery video your face to "verify" your identity, even though they already have name, address, phone, email, and social security number.
