Needed to access SSA
December 13, 2025

The ID.me process was quick and straightforward. They do an email confirmation and explain what you need next. The documents you need are listed out and the instructions for submission are clear. There was a 20 minute delay after submitting photos of the documents, then a video call where you hold the same documents up to the screen one at a time so they can see you actually handling them, with your face right there to compare. And then it's done, nothing more to it.

Waste of time 4 me
December 13, 2025

Took me about 45 minutes to get signed in and after filling everything out, uploading documents I need to send pics of my DL and it wouldn't take pegs. Total waste of time, never accomplished anything. Just needed a copy of my DD214.

ID.me does not take into account that respective IDs have either a middle name initial or full middle name. Since my state driver's license ID had my middle initial which copied over to my social security account. My social security card has my full middle name. ID.me does not have a message system so that I can send a message to correct my mistake when I accepted incorrect middle name initial instead of my full middle name when I linked my ID.me to my social security account.

Easy sign on to VA. Gov
December 12, 2025

I have been using ID.me for several years. It enables me to sign on to federal government websites almost effortlessly. I hate the hassle of proving my identity several times when accessing websites. Once you prove your identity to ID.me one time, you need only provide them with your user I'd and password once. That's all!

The Gate Keeper
December 12, 2025

I started using ID Me for quite sometime. It started with the NJ Courts for paying traffics tickets. Then, I noticed whenever I would login the site would verify me through different platforms. So I feel my internet interactions was definitely safe and worry free. The trust was extremely important and earned 💯
