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.

Super helpful and time Saver
January 2, 2025

Needed to sign in on EDD to get records of Disability insurance payments and my old password so my ID me account make everything a lot easier cause they already have all my information including facial recognition methods so did not have to go to a long process of identifying myself again.

Avoid this process if possible.
January 1, 2025

Very sensitive information and documents were requested.
Sensitive documents were photographed front and back and uploaded.
A live scan of my face was taken.
This information was rejected for some unknown reason associated with my cell phone number.
At this point a live process with an agent was required.
This live process was a terrible experience due to technical issues with my desktop computer and security measured in my cell phone.

The website really does give you easy access to the benefits, discounts and services of veterans. I wish they would give us a bit more though like maybe an extra percent on cash back or maybe a slightly higher discount because all the current cash back and discount currently reduces is the tax for the purchase. I don't feel like there was a reduction in price in the first place.

The process, for me, was not difficult to understand and easy to complete. I was ordering a new laptop while I was filling out the Id application so I will see how it works out. That would be my mistake, not Apple's, but I know that I will continue to buy Apple products so I will see sooner or later.
