Overreach, invasive
December 6, 2025

I have logged in to id.me many times over the last decade. This new verification process is time consuming and overly invasive, imho. You have to provide your full SSN, photo of your drivers license, AND you have to scan your face. They say there is no guarantee that your information is secure. I felt like I was bringing scammed the whole time I was jumping through their hoops. Terrible experience.

Not very difficult
December 6, 2025

Followed each step of each process and sometimes re-read for clarity. Steps are plainly explained for novices. I am nervous about exposing sensitive information and praying not to get hacked.

I completed all the steps thru video call identification successfully according to id me, but the automated system kept telling me to complete the verification process for days, so I went to the department of labor in person to get matters straight and reieve my payments after four weeks, very disappointed

Great experience
December 6, 2025

This was a simple and fast process, but it also felt extremely secure even more so than a typical 2 step verification process used on many other apps

Confussing
December 6, 2025

Very confussing, took 2 1/2 days to work through the process. Part of the app did not work. Timed out and had to start over. No explaination why data was needed to access app.

Good system of identification
December 6, 2025

The experience was good. Uploading documents wasn't as smooth as I would like. It rejected my docs without a reason code first time and then with a reason a second time, but the instructions were unclear. It simply said take a picture of the document, but didn't define parameters. Ince I figured it out, it went smoothly.

I would recommend ID.me to anyone and everyone who needs to certify their ID! It was so quick, easy, and painless! I was done in just a few minutes! Especially as in the days I spent trying to do the same thing at login.gov and was never successful! Finally after the third day of trying, I remembered that there was a second site (ID.me) that I could try! And thankfully instant success! Thank you so much ID.me! I will be forever grateful!

Unreliable
December 5, 2025

I am forced to use this website to verify my social security and medicare information. It is unreliable. I log in once a year to verify and check my information for accuracy - each time I log in, my old login information is "not recognized" and I am forced to reverify. This last time (and two previous times) even after verifying, setting a new PW and then logging in I received a message that my login in incorrcect and my account is blocked until I call the office (and wait a long time) to speak to a representative.

Time Saver!
December 5, 2025

I log in to a couple different federal government agency accounts using id.me and save a lot of time. The IRS uses it and I use it on my SSA account, too.
I would use it on Texas state agencies, but i haven't seen it come up while logging in.
Saving time is like saving money! I even had time to write this review!
