Pleasant Experience
January 15, 2025

I would encourage anyone needing to verify their identity to use this site. I am 62 and don't have a lot of experience using the new technology that is available to us. I found this site to be fairly easy to navigate would highly recommend it to anyone who is ready to learn more, and who often find themselves frustrated, embarrassed due to their lack of knowledge, which does not make for a pleasant experience.

Had trouble with the IRS webpage. Froze me out even through the information was 100% correct. From out of nowhere comes ID.me and I securely got my IRS business done. Good stuff!

Easy and quick
January 15, 2025

I already had an ID.me account set up but this was the first time I was asked to do a video selfie. I was initially skeptical but now I realize this is more secure and harder to fake a selfie video whereas a flat photo could be used instead of a live photo and could possibly lead to identity theft. It was a very quick and easy thing to do and took very little time to get verified.

Wanted to make a payment to the IRS. This site, ID.me, prohibited me from doing so. No explanation, no attempt to justify its existence. Further, the process they require is much too complicated.

It sucks. Takes forever to get in with verification of email and phone number multiple times even though you are responding to their messages on them

A Great Service
January 14, 2025

I have been using this service for verification of military service for a few years now and it just keeps getting better. I have used it at Lowes for a military discount, for I.D. verification for SSI benefits and most recently on va.gov. It gives me pease of mind knowing my information is verified and secure.
