It seems insecure
November 5, 2024

I set up my user ID and password. After login, I saw another person's information! I reported it to the ID.me company, but they did not reply.

A mess of a system
November 5, 2024

This is among the least user-friendly and most unreliable systems I've run into. T took hours of attempts fielding "try later" messages, unannounced failures to accept information, and other obstacles to what ought to take just a few minutes. I can't tell if the problem is incompetent system design or bad system maintenance or some other problem, but I do know that trusting so badly-run a system with your information is foolhardy. Don't do it. Find another way. This one is nuts.

ID me only works on NEWER devices.
November 5, 2024

After weeks and weeks of ID me refusing to accept my photo of my driver license, and weeks and weeks of ID me refusing to work while taking a video selfie, I eventually had to buy a brand new tablet device to be able to log on to the IRS website.
ID Me should provide a warning that if one is using an older laptops or older phone? That ID me will NOT work. What a waste of my time.

Not user friendly.
November 5, 2024

Requires a response to a text message each and every time that you sign in. I appreciate a solid security app but dealing with this site is troubling. From time to time the screen lock up and you cannot proceed to the next question.

Fast and secure!
November 5, 2024

Someone stole my identity and fraudulently filed taxes in my name! When I tried to file, I registered with ID.Me and the IRS were able to positively identify me so that I could file. This saved me so much time because I had an actual DL and video of my face saved with ID.Me via the IRS! There're so many people who rather steal than get a JOB! So yes, ID.Me saves time and money!

It doesn't lead you through the process with step by step definitive directions, as it seems to assume you know how to work such a program, but if you keep trying, you can get it done.

Much easier than you think
November 5, 2024

I have been putting this off for almost a year, expecting it to be an onerous task. Imagine my surprise when it wasn't! If you have pictures of the front and back of your DL and another ID, I had one of my health insurance card. Once you login, the entire process might be over in less than 30 minutes. The agent I got was awesome and I was on the call with her about 3 minutes. Done!

A little issue resolved
November 5, 2024

I had trouble verifying my ID.me account. After many emails representative Jonathan was with me every step of the way. He was patient, kind and best part is he was always there when I needed him. I email him and bam! He replies within a short period of time.
Excellent customer service.

Easy Setup, Works on Many Sites
November 5, 2024

I was able to set up ID.me fairly quickly. They did a great job of blending a PC browser and mobile browser experience, which isn't easy to do. To anyone who's going to set it up, I would suggest getting your information together, along with your identification, before you start the process. This will enable you to complete the setup faster.
