Frustrating, but safe
December 19, 2023

I highly suggest scheduling a video verification, and not attempting to self verify. The process was extremely tedious, frustrating, and lengthy just for the technology to perceived my name wrong and require a video call with a rep anyway. The call with the rep was great though, quick, easy, and I like that she asked questions to ensure there's no fraud or identity theft.

Too confusing, long and tedious.
December 19, 2023

Do you know that the choices given to ID you is long and tedious. In addition, the instructions are long explanations of what to do, then read the disclaimers with each action.
A long and tedius process…. Better get your Ph.d for this task! Even with this review they want you to upload a pictures

SSS - Safe, Strong, Secure
December 12, 2023

It takes just a couple of seconds more than the old way, but I believe it's worth it to have that much security on our personal information. It makes me feel safer, stronger, and more secure that this login system is being implemented.

Secure Access to keep me protected.
December 12, 2023

The verification process was a little time consuming, but when it comes to government access you should wish the process to be secure not necessarily lengthy. And the video call verification was incredibly perfect and professional. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Thank you. Keep Democracy Alive!

Hopefully legitimate
December 19, 2023

I intended to login and make an estimated payment as I have been doing for years. It took me to this ID.me site which I had never heard of before. Wasn't able to find out much about it and it was stressful. Did manage to follow through and complete it. I guess I will find out if it is legitimate when funds are withdrawn from my account.

Like anything that is tied to the government, it is over-reaching, difficult, too many clicks, and it required me to change my password at least two or three times.

If you like pain, you found the place.
