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.

Quick, Easy and Safe
June 20, 2024

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.

Tax Return Transcript
June 20, 2024

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.

Beware of spam
June 16, 2024

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.

Give me thumbs up
June 15, 2024

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.

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.
