Wasted time taking pictures, front and back of 2 documents uploading them and then still needing video call to verify. Whats the point of uploading if they are not used? Then to take a survey to tell them it was a big waste of time as I could not get into the NJ dept of Taxation by using the app.

Easy to set up and use
November 10, 2024

Setting up ID.me was simple, and even somewhat interesting regarding the selfie video. I had never seen anything quite like that. ID.me will greatly simplify access to government agencies.

Following instructions
It never came to an end
Looped me back to the beginning
Software algorithms, lacking maturity
Frustrating as all we have come to expect
From our government.!

I believe my experience was easy in regards to ID.ME. As for the site requiring the verification became a little difficult. As of right now I'm trying to verify what the issue is.

Verify & accuracy on point.
November 10, 2024

The fact that I can use ID.me for reasons to actually verify I am who I say I am, is a tremendous relief. It makes me feel secure when it comes to verification and validation on important websites especially.gov websites.

Pray that you do not have to use this
November 10, 2024

If you have to use a public computer, the program gets blocked, you can set up an account but the computers will block you opening the program.

Very unhappy
November 10, 2024

The entire system kept going in circles. Kept referring me back to codes and numbers to ensure I was me. It asked for a password but wouldn't give me a keyboard to type into.
I'm just going to take the drive to the VA hospital and do the waiting game there.

Verification codes
November 10, 2024

After I uploaded documents, videoed selfi…, system prompted me to enter my phone number, I entered the same cellphone number, but won't recognize me, after second try, log me off. So I have reloaded documents, selfi., this time I use my landline, the verification code came through, I entered, and finished the process. If people need to use a different phone number for the last verification code, please SPECIFIED it!

Login process is broken and sketch
November 10, 2024

After providing information and successfully validating their site refused entry with an error and kept sending me back through login. Likely because they use poor methods that don't compensate for Menlo security certificate proxies at government installations, but who knows. Reeks of incompetent programming and a lack of customer care. They have nothing but a rude subgenius chatbot for support and it was worthless as well when encountering registration/login issues.

VA card updated
November 10, 2024

At first I thought this was a scam because I already had an ID.me account. I did this to update my expired VA ID card but never had any message during this process that I would be receiving an updated card. So I don't know if I was successful in that regard.
