Secured and Trustworthy
April 4, 2024

I Initially wanted to login to ssa.gov but it took ID.me to login. So I sat down to create my account and did the multi-factor authentication as simple as it was, took a picture of my Id front and back like it said and eventually since I couldn't get through the self service to verify by facial recognition, I got a call and a lady asked me to verify through video call so I had my computer camera plugged in and we met on video call to verify and within seconds, I disconnected the call and was able to login using my one time private code they sent in the mail, then finally I had officially got into my ssa account. Overall, my experience was fast and easy as that.

The worst company
April 2, 2024

After 5 days no assistance in getting my ID verified. They do no use phones and the occasional messsge is inadequate and there is no follow up. Their system is bad and the instructions are ambiguous. It has been a 5 day nightmare. It had caused my unemployment app to be placed on hold, The owner goes not make himself available to resolve the problem.

Good world
March 31, 2024

Good id site. The upload of the pictures was easy to upload and very self explanatory.The world is a good site for ppl to finish stuff they have to do. It is well put together and not hard to do. The questions were easy to answer and to understand without getting someone to help.

Very nice

I loved it, not to much and straight to the point with no expectations. I appreciate everything that took place and in a respectful manner. They touch base in every area that needs to be done. ID Me made sure that what you say is true and accurate and not false information.

First, calm down. Entering the process bent- outta - shape may lead to more frustration. Read the instructions carefully. Something has gone wrong with your tax return and you can not fix it unless you follow the directions carefully. Be sure to submit the exact documents being requested. Submitting incorrect documents delays the process. Have confidence in the irs representative's expertise.
