Fabulous.
May 10, 2024

I was absolutely astonished with the service that I received, from the video verification. It was such a pleasant process, and the whole thing was just a delightful experience. I completely forgot what I was doing, because,it just seemed as if we were friends having a chat.

This process was easy to follow and very personable getting a real person to inspect your ID, rather than a bot.

I thought it was better than calling IRS agents on the phone because usually it takes a very long period of time. It was simple and easy directions to follow.

First time using
May 10, 2024

I'm a pretty techy guy who has produced many how-to lessons for customers and students. I was not al all pleased with the lack of those during the session I went through. There are too many folks out there who do not have the capacity to understand what they need to do for the process.

How many times do we try to use the same username or password somewhere new only to be told "Not valid, you need 3 special characters, 18 characters or more, 4 numbers, 4 capitals and the rest lower case..." It's so frustrating to have to modify something you can easily remember to many iterations just to work across resources that are accessed often. ID.me allows 1 username, 1 password and you can sign into many govt resources without having to go look up what the username and password is for each. Just one!

Great Experience
May 10, 2024

After attempting to renew my ID.me credentials through the app on my phone, I decided to use the computer. It couldn't have gone any easier. Was as simple as 1, 2, 3. Would recommend this to anyone needing to verify ID credentials for Gov't work for discounts and special programs for emergency responders.
