Chat Bot Roy is very limited in helping and can only answer questions it allows you to ask. If you have another question, you must search pages of information to find an answer on your own. ID.me has a monopoly and is not compelled to provide customer service or phone assistance. The government in its wisdom is now forcing every social security recipient go to ID.me. Good Luck!
ParĂ¡ mi fue una excelente experiencia que fue de gran utilidad
It was so easy to set up my ID.me user account. Up loading my id was easy as well. They are a trusted site to use that uses high security standards.
Gratefully, is my first time to do that but I'm so happy and comfortable
Easy to manage and able to finish with no problem. Questions and information needed was easy to provide. Will definitely use this again
My experience setting up my account, entering information and uploading documents went very smoothly. A very straightforward process. Thank you for making it so easy!
After giving my information and a picture of my identification, there was a short wait and a video call with a very polite and patient lady for confirmation, and that was it. Everything went very smoothly.
Good overall slower verification process, however agent was able to help me making it much easier and faster. Would highly recommend in the future.
I used ID.me for the first time on a website offering a discount to military members, families and Veterans. It was extremely easy to use, input information and verification was less than two minutes start to finish. Instantly I received the offered discount which made my shopping experience much more enjoyable and saved quite a bit.
Thanks ID.me for making the transaction painless!
The website itself is terrible. It lacks info about why your stuff isn't working and lacks ways to speak with someone directly. It held on to my old id from the last time I tried this 4 yrs ago and didn't give any option to remove it let alone know it was even there. That caused my new id to not upload. I FINALLY after days of trying the same thing over and over- it gave me a link to speak to someone live. I had to get a manager because the agent wouldn't look at my document like they are supposed to and just kept saying it's expired ma'am. The manager fixed the issue and deleted my old one, supposedly, however this time it wanted me to provide a copy of said expired license. Who even has that after 4 yrs? Luckily I did by some miracle because at that point in the system, if I didn't have it I wasn't getting any further with no way to get a live person on the line. The agents were all great aside from the first lady. Maybe she was having a bad day idk but the system itself it's absolutely terrible.

Overall very easy and effective. I had no problem accessing the sites I needed using ID me
The procedure was simple, expedient, and satisfying. They have set a high standard, ergo, I will use as a benchmark to gauge other sites for what is possible.
ID was easy for a senior my age because I'm not computer savvy! But the Agent was very warm and friendly. And very helpful
Thank you!
I got my ID.me account setup and verified yesterday and now today it's temporarily suspended

I've been with them for quite a while, have not had to use them in a while and forgot my password promptly got my password from them, reverified my military service and was done in minutes seconds even
Frustrating, maddening waste of time. I would rate it with 0 stars if that were possible. I am just waiting to have my personal info stolen or be hacked due their technical incompetence.

The steps were easy and very helpful.
