Mi experiencia fue comoda y rapida, pero si dentro de sus sevicios deberian incluir personas que hablen espanol
Didn't take long like how liberty state taxes had me waiting for about of a month, so when I found ID.me I got threw the assignments fast and easy.
Alswome! I certify that this review is based on my own experience and that I am in no way affiliated with this business, and have not been offered any incentive or payment from the business to write this review.
Process slow and tedious during peak hours. I had to try several times. I completed task during a weekend after being notified by the system to " Complete Registration."
I was discouraged at first but after hearing they had a phone app I became interested. After downloading it and uploading a photo of my id I was in I updated some other info and boom I had instant access to important Va benefits information that I hadn't had before and on my phone at that. Didn't have to deal with any people or driving to any places to get super important information that I desperately needed.
Which is really helpful. No worries for uploading personal documents. Because there had scanning systems your face, Driving license front and back, your social security number and your phone. Those valid documents uploaded so no once use it. Very safe website. I will appreciate all staff you will decide to upgrade your website. 3 years before I personally came never I finished my transcript on website. I visited office then finished. Thank you all staff member.
I am not familiar with downloading files.i found instructions very difficult. I still don't know how to find my last income tax return filed. I do not have these records.
So I will wait for your reply.
Muy buena experiencia no tuve problemas para entrar y bajar mis documentos y tomarme un video

Check your records if a tax is owed
To the Internal Revenue Service and very safe
To pay by credit card on a secured website that protects your
Privacy also after paying you get a confirmation number to confirm
Your payment.Thank you very much for making it easy for the consumer😁.
Within hours of using this service, spam started rolling into my otherwise spam free email account. I was signed up without consent to a range of newsletters and accounts ranging from investment companies to travel companies.(40+) The willingness demonstrated to missuse my personal information severely degraded my trust in this company.
Well, I had to call somebody at the VA and they help me go through it or I would've never got home. I'm not computer savvy and it was a glitch in it somewhere. I forgot what it was but go take care of everything's working fine now.
Muy agradecida con el excelente servicio y la manera pronta y eficaz de resolver
The site is difficult to use, and there is no support available. Roy the chatbot was just annoying and provided no help or value; it was a waste of time.
The process included sending me a link so I could photograph my documents, and that did not work at all. My request for support was answered with a boilerplate reply, which was not helpful. My support request was finally answered about 20 hours later! That is not acceptable. I understand the concept of "letting a question 'age'," but that was ridiculous. To work around the block I encountered, I photo'd my own documents, uploaded them to Google Drive to edit them, and then downloaded them to my laptop so I could upload them to ID.me. That was very inefficient. I think I will put this review on TrustPilot also.
