Difficult and frustrating
September 24, 2024

Could not get this site to work at first due to messages saying I was blocked. Tried next day and it took many attempts because of documentation and images not good for identification

Avoid
September 23, 2024

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.

Simply doesn't work
September 23, 2024

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.

ID.me is definitely worth it!
September 23, 2024

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!

Secure Identity Verification
September 20, 2024

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!
