ID.me login verification
February 1, 2026

ID.me's account creation process is straightforward and works. However when selecting the video call verification option be prepared to wait.
Took almost 2.5 hours to get the video call with a representative. Once connected, the verification process was completed in less than 10 minutes.

Thank you,

INVASIVE AT BEST
February 1, 2026

Took forever to complete and the selfie process takes several tries. It feels like this info will be shared by other parties and governments.

Extremely annoying
January 31, 2026

I highly wouldn't recommend this website unless it's like your last resort you can print it out for unemployment and just file it by hand lately. This website has been getting people issues and I went in person and talked to somebody at the DES office and informed them about that and they informed me that this website has been giving numerous of peoples issues were they're incapable on filing for unemployment through this website.

Had provided a secondary email in 2024 when I knew I was wrapping up with an employer at the time and had used company email to establish the ID.me account. However, when providing the uploaded documents and selfie, it required me to log in to that email which I know longer had access to and did not remember the PW to. This blocked me from DIY-ing this login and setup procedure. I should have been able to merge, terminate, or rectify the accounts without an agent or rep to intervene. OR, don't suggest that I could with all the generic chatbot solutions that were not applicable.

Agent Tyler gets 5 stars, because he was helpful and knowledgeable once on virtual call.

This extra step in paying my taxes was not expected and took me a minute to go ahead with it. But it was just a few clicks to confirm my info and take a pic and it was done in 10 mins with no prior knowledge of their methods. Very user friendly and not out of my capabilities or too much of my comfort zone.

Confusing don't waste your time

Your personal information is required yet they do not make it easy to find the discount code. It's almost like they stole my personal information. Don't waste your time.
