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.

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

It works, when you figure it out.
December 19, 2024

Had a difficult time in the beginning. I was told I could do all of the sign-up on my phone, which was false. After taking pictures of my documents there was some next step using my phone's camera, that my phone apparently "didn't support". I had to click the "chat with..." option to even find the option to speak to an agent.

Fraud, waste and abuse
December 19, 2024

Signed up which was a terrible experience. The system timed out several times. Now I can no long log in to the health care portal. Basically, I have received an email telling me that I have an account. When I try to access the account I get nothing nut a message saying "This page is unavailable". I need to message my Doctor now concerning an appointment on the 20th of this month.

I uploaded the things in the middle of the night, and there was still a human being there looking at them immediately. Early in the morning, the lady got on, we did the interview, and boom, it was done, super easy. I didnt even get a chance to comb my hair, it all happened so fast. I thought i would be waiting. Nope. Quicker than burger king.

IRS, however, continues to suck.

Locked out of Soc Sec Admin
December 19, 2024

Had access to SSA for years, then IDme asked for Driver's License, which has my full legal name, SSA uses my shortened form of my name (kind of like William vs Bill). That resulted in name mismatch, now I'm locked out of SSA.
