I wanted to see if I could access a vital information.I was shocked to see they worked on Sunday. It was fast and no long waiting time.Two minutes to be precise as I needed to get my documents so that was fine. I connected with an agent,the emails and code came fast as well.

The Agent I did a zoom call was nice and helpful. Very calm and guided me all through.
I recommend using them,you will be amazed.

Painstakingly tried, but true
August 21, 2024

The verification process of the three documents was very frustrating but it was to my own lack of preparedness. Upon me getting the third document approved the process moved expediently and seamlessly with the video call. I have since gained any and all access I desired on the IRS.gov website thanks to ID me. Before you even visit the ID me website make sure you have your driver's license, a social security card and birth certificate. Those three documents are a guarantee to have you approved for the video call which took me less than 5 minutes from start to finish.
