Easy for most but not for all
February 19, 2024

I found the registration with ID.me easy, but have several staff that were challenged by the process as they are not tech savvy. One doesn't even have a smart phone! Another has a smartphone but doesn't know how to do much other than text/call. I would definitely recommend mentioning the need to relax privacy/location settings for this registration to work as well provide for more readily available registration options that do not require mobile devices.

Everything was smooth and easy from beginning to end (sign up, document upload, waiting period, video call, and final steps). They even sent me thinking-of-you emails to let me know they hadn't forgot about me and why the waiting period for my live video call with their agent was taking longer than they anticipated. The agent was patient, understanding, and flexible while I struggled with minor technical difficulties with the background (don't blur it!).

I thought this was gonna be worse
February 12, 2024

First the email
Then I uploaded the documents
Then it said I had to the video conference and that's when I was like WTH, and here we go
More than 3 days later I received the email for the video call.
I received it on Friday and didn't do it until Monday not realizing that it was a 24/7 thing
I followed the link and it said 17 minutes hold time
Well I was only on his for about 10 minutes and I got a nice agent that actually smiled!
Then after that everything was smooth sailing and I passed

Worst Company Ever

Id.me provides the worst service in America. Federal agencies should get rid of this company immediately. Insanely terrible customer service.

Confidence
February 6, 2024

Having my identity verified by ID.Me was a very simple process. Though a little time consuming, it was not difficult. I feel confident that my information is secure since the IRS and Social Security use it for their login.
