Horrifying experience
June 8, 2026

It is truly a shame that one needs to go through ID.me for critical things like obtaining social security cards. I had a confirmed reservation for 8pm. Once i joined, my wait time was listed at 2 hours instead of 0 minutes. It got worse, the wait time kept going up. I did not actually get in front of a live agent to start my verification until after midnight. So i waited 4 hours and didnt go to sleep on a work day until around 1am. Keep in mind whatever ID.me tells you, be prepared to wait excessively anyway. Much better off just going to a physical location.

Unrealistic 24-48 hours
June 8, 2026

Apply at least a month in advance if you think you are going to need it. Waited 2 weeks to get rejected in my first attempt. Then another week and a half to get approved on my second.

Wait time by phone
June 7, 2026

The second appointment went great. The first phone call was a 6 hour wait and the first appointment was a flop. No one called and sent an email that I missed the appointment. I was by my phone the entire time. Sad we have to use this to have an IRS online account.

For the last past 2 years I always thought applying was going to be difficult and really the frustrating. My patients are low when I am trying to understand can make things complicated for myself. I was surprised and each step or question was easy to understand and complete the application.

Verifying with ID.ME
June 7, 2026

The interaction with the agent was wonderful. He was very professional and put me at ease. He was wonderful and while I feel very secure with Id.me handling my information, the process was very lengthy. Once I finally got a video call through was fine; however, the wait was unacceptable.
I have no problem recommending Id.me but be prepared for a lengthily wait time.
