The company has garnered a mixed reputation, with notable strengths in its identity verification service, which many users found secure and efficient, particularly praising the helpfulness of customer service during video calls. However, significant concerns were raised regarding the complexity of the verification process, which some customers found frustrating and time-consuming, particularly older users or those with unique identification issues.

Very very helpful and easy to understand and the video cal agent made it very easy and not complicated he was very patient and straightforward
Sadly, zero stars was not an option or I wouId have chosen zero. This is a privacy invasive process that puts you at risk with a third party. There are other means to verify people's identity that are not risky(like this process) and invasive which should be used.
Great experience got what I did it. Done on five minutes.
Proving your identity is an inherently sensitive and galling process, one ID.me has proven unable to handle. Staring at a "Liveness verification" color pattern just hurts to look at, when it works at all, which seems unlikely if you're using anything but stock Chrome. The website crashes with a CloudFlare error if you try to upload a picture with too high a resolution (not mentioned anywhere) even when the filesize is within parameters. A sign that the State of NJ is making poor IT decisions.
I wasn't aware of this service until I spoke with the IRS about a data breach that a credit agency told me about and had leaked some of my information. In order to protect myself better, I reached out to the IRS to see what steps AI should take and they suggested creating an account on their website. I am glad that I did, because I feel like my information is a little more protected now. Creating the account was very easy, fast, and helpful. You can upload your documents of identity and then you will be verified with a live representative on a video chat. I liked the fact that the representative could see my face and see my documents to make a quick confirmation of my identity. The website also has a plethora of categories to choose from once you create your account. I highly recommend doing this!
It was fast and I like the second security step that sends to your phone
Very long and tedious. Took me 3 days to accomplish everything. I kept repeating the whole process and codes. Was hard to get
Using ID Me was easy and fast. Didnt hace to go through a process of identity co firmaron. Easy steps.
I experience it very good and I like it. Especially the help that I will receive from your, that'll helpful to me.
ID.ME is a must have app if you're looking for a secure way to verify identity. Your data is encrypted and kept secure. The verification process is extensive but easy to do and only has to be done once. ID.ME is trusted by Federal and State government for access to various departments such as SSA, IRS, VA, and more online. Invaluable in today's information society. I highly recommend ID.ME and guarantee anyone is going to love it!
Very confusing for people who live outside of US and there isn't a way to communicate by phone with an agent- only email with very brief, incomplete responses.
I did not like having to do the video picture thing 6 times.
Life has done a 360 since finding ID.me, no more waiting in lines in person or on the phone, with a quick and easy fast verification process that gets you immediate access to your daily routine and needs and hassle free as promised
Very good today we need more security with all the frauds out there
I found it difficult to set up and still don't know how to use.
This website is easy to use and a great way to make sure your id is safe with things of a sensitive nature.
The process was easy to use and very convenient I would recommend everyone to sign in or join the ID.me it's so easy and safe just try it no problem you will thank me!
Took too long and complicated instruction. Had to keep going between phone and pc
It can be a little time consuming but the effort to protect yourself was worth it.
My experience was phenomenal on point and ver punctual
