ID.me Reviews Summary

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. Additionally, delays and technical difficulties, including issues with document acceptance and login credentials, have led to dissatisfaction among several users. Overall, while the service is valued for its security, improvements in user experience and support are essential.

Would rather have my identity stolen!
September 10, 2024

Email & password please. Then add 2 step verification through a text or phone call. After that choose a document to take a pic of front & back & it must have a pic of you on it. Load both of those please. Then take a selfie video with no glasses, heavy makeup, hair covering any of your face or with anything distracting on or as your background!
ARE YOU GETTING THE PICTURE NOW! My phone would only hold 2 pages open while trying to get the log in, pics of ID loaded, sig n in, video review of my face & add the 6 digit number in 2 step verify.
Any questions why this review is bad. Still am not able to sign in, I quit!

Already did all this before for unemployment & Home depot discount. Don't know why I had to do it again for Lowes discount.

Also during my enlistment my 1st name was John. It's now back to Jonathan, same ssn. Should I put down what's on my dd-214 or what's on my birth certificate?

Was able to recover my id.me account and information. Usually it takes a long time to verify all new information, but I didn't have much trouble at all.

Easy functional access to get the best results. Too many programs now make it difficult to get access once the individual sets up all of the requirements needed for access.

Make sure you have time to waste
September 10, 2024

After forcing me to send them pictures of my ID and other important, private documents over and unsecured connection, the system failed to verify me and I had to talk to a human on voice chat to make it happen. You can't pay the IRS without this nonsense id.me account, so they have no reason to ensure their service works. Make sure you have plenty of time to waste.

You know, super ego, id. Being partly blind, I am the true Mr. Magoo. Or at least reincarnate.
This has been happening to me for almost ten years but the last two? Over the top. The great news is that ID.me has come up with a fantastic service for the population who have challenges, like me. It's perhaps a perfect holiday gesture to an under served population.
What do I think about ID Me? Give a chance to show them who they discovered today.
The photo, just a illustration. Why do I give you all rights? I want to work for you. I'll give you a review package guareed all rights in publid domain because I'll use AI to work faster. It will be cheap. We will disclose the AI but I don'twant any credit. This should fly with legal. I can do this in more than 10 languages on request and we'll talk about a small consulting agree. Promise I can do it anonymously. I'm doing something else don't want to confuse anyone. No fee first time. I'll work with your agency.
