A nightmare
December 20, 2024

Can't even be identified as a US citizen that even has a drivers license ID in Arizona! They make you answer 50 questions and do a selfie and photograph your ID, drivers license. Ridiculous. Then I still never got access. But let a migrant, illegal cross our border and they get everything for free!

Changed your bigger number? GOOD LUCK
December 20, 2024

It was very difficult to verify myself because I had changed my phone number. I had already verified with my ID, selfie, email address and the one thing that got me stuck was the phone number. Even after downloading the app, I couldn't update my phone number.

B Hartnett rating, ID.me website
December 20, 2024

Overall it is a very useful and convenient website to navigate. I am able to view my historical social security account information, as well as my historical IRS personal income tax returns. I rate it a 4 on a scale of 1-5, with 5 the highest number.

Easy and thorough!
December 20, 2024

Very easy to use; extremely user friendly! Trustworthy too! If it's good enough for Elon Musk to use for his Tesla military family purchase discount program, its good enough for me to use on anything requiring on line ID!

I was told to get authenticated with this service to use my med electronic Rx Service. I did so but my Rx says I am not authenticated. Puts my patients at risk. And I have no one who can help. Instead I get a survey to say how satisfied I am
