Very happy with the service. I've been trying to do it for a while, but I had to get all the documents in place but once I did very easy, very professional, I like all that security being that everyone throwing stuff on their phones down.
I was always trying to get information on my Soc. Sec. Acct. For many years and nothing, when I was directed to this site ID.me I felt the sky open, I also felt important.
Frustratingly enough to make you mad but tonight involved to quit
When my original pre-2021 log in stopped working and Gov log in failed, ID.me was my last Hope. Quick, clear, simple and patient with Seniors. I was logged into SSA in under 5 minutes from start. Thank you.
Easy if you read it. Little slow on photos but not too bad
The process was fast and easy to set-up. All info needed was easy to follow and taking a selfie was quick and easy.
