ID me is a blatant grab of information red their terms of service and look at the cookies that track you. There couldn't be a more blatant tracking and information grab as far as I'm concerned. In order to apply for financial aid ID me was jammed down my throat.
I don't trust this company nor should you again red their terms of service and what they're gonna do with your photographs and the video they take of your face. It is likely that I will spend a lot of time trying to get my information removed from ID.me

Fast, Easy service,
November 29, 2025

The ID.me service is fast and efficient. The only downside side in my experience was that the automatic photo snap without warning and no options to review or try again was frustrating!

Don't forget to keep your info updated.
November 29, 2025

I was having to basically start over as I had an account but had not changed my phone number. I had to verify who I was before I could get in and change the number so it could sent codes where I could get them. I had a little problem but nothing major.

Frustrated
November 29, 2025

I had tried another option but I seemed to go in circles. This seemed to be the same until I was able to do a short video call and it was very easy to get verified

Fantastically easy & quick!
November 29, 2025

Struggled with the SS site for 3 months with no assistance or direction after already using for 6 years. Making changes due to new phone number & email was a nightmare. Not with ID.me done in under half an hour, what a relief

Finally useful information!
November 29, 2025

Have been seeking answers to questions of health benefits and in-home help from several areas without any acceptable results. Finally getting an appointment for evaluation and results for improving health and every day activities. Looking forward to being able to live each day with more strength, stamina and purpose. Waiting for doctor visit.

ID.me saves my bacon!
November 29, 2025

Had an acct several years, all good. Got me in where I needed to be.
Then a new phone 18 mo ago. At change-over, several security sites got messed up somehow?
I tried but got frustrated, aggrivated, just forgot about no access with ID.me and went on.
Lately several govt sites increased security and access, so coast time was about up.
I called ID.me, asked for help to a fix. The Kady was real nice, very good, got me established in short order. Now have all needed access back and intact!
They'll benefit you too, for sure

Poor service
November 29, 2025

Spent hours trying to find help other than the stupid AI helper they have. You might search forever trying to find a number or email to get in touch with someone to help. I spent about half a day trying to find someone to help with my issue. It was only after I emailed "Pissed Customer" did someone from ID.me contact me by email, he was able to fix the issue in just a short time..

I am always skeptical of providing personal information online. However, I eventually felt more comfortable with the process as I maneuver through.

Time saver
November 29, 2025

Once I verified my identity after the first time it was super easy and super fast to log in after that. It was very convenient and I am so glad I didn't have to stress out about having to log in again and having to do some second Factor login that's annoying and time-consuming.

Inexperienced computer users
November 29, 2025

Not completely comfortable with using the computer to upload documents needed to complete various personal applications for identifying the applicant. Need to carefully read the respective instructions and it could be very helpful if you discuss the application process with someone who had recently completed the computer application process. It might also be helpful if you google ID.me to be more familiar with company and it benefits.

Can I give zero stars?
November 29, 2025

Does not work! Nothing I ever submit can be verified. Nothing! And I love when my phone number can't be verified and they say to 'use another number' like who has multiple phones/numbers?
And it should be able to be verified since it's my phone that I pay the bill on!
