I have a new phone number and tried to access the account. I forgot the password and can't recover. I wasted too much time on this service already.

ID.me service is very poor. It is poor like homeless people have no food to eat.

Sorry to say that, but it is true.

Don't get locked out
July 18, 2024

I was invited to link other emails and such to my account. The process led to my account getting locked and it took weeks to unlock which is a problem because many sites require login.gov or id me

I had to beg to get a response.

Broken system
July 17, 2024

If you ever had multiple email addresses during your life, this site will frustrate you. This site is a great representation of the broken government. Seems like the site is designed to frustrate the user. Pure evil.

LSTS TAKE 5 Hours to ID YOURSELF
July 13, 2024

Having to repeat the process over and over again, despite being verified successfully over and over again as well. I had to Go through at least 17 different codes. It would tell me I was verified, but I wasn't and then I couldn't login and I was able to I was able to get into my Social Security account, but if you are going to be one of the three sources to use Social Security, I recommend getting a better system. I'm on disability. I should not have to repeat the same process over and over again just to use my Social Security account. I also like the The government At all, They could have better Way to identify yourself obviously your birth certificate, those things or your social what I'm saying to repeat it repeat it and repeat it and repeat it and then the phone call verification number wouldn't go through first so we had to reschedule and wait another 15 more minutes the wait time is awful.

I recently had an exceptional experience with ID.me's customer service, thanks to an agent named Daftne. From the start, Daftnewas professional💯, patient, and incredibly helpful. She listened carefully to my concerns and provided clear, concise answers to all my questions. Her friendly demeanor and deep knowledge of the service made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Daftne went above and beyond to ensure that my issue was resolved quickly and efficiently. I truly appreciate her dedication and the excellent service she provided. ID.me is lucky to have such a fantastic team member!

Uploading an ID photo
July 13, 2024

My first 3 attempts to upload my driving license photo ID as jpeg images directly from my cell phone were rejected.
I later scanned the front and back of my ID separately, then saved each scan as jpeg images.
The upload was successful at the first attempt.

I did complete the process with my phone, but I do not like to provide sensitive, personal information using my phone. I would much prefer completing processes that require my personal identification data using my desktop. The process to do so was not clearly outlined.
