Instructions on phone screen have too small a font for me to read without glasses during selfie verification. They need to be in the largest font possible.

Mi experiencia
December 11, 2023

Apenas me acabo de incorporar y solo puedo decir que fue muy largo y complicado el proceso para obtener el id.me por no tener yo un amplio dominio de las nuevas tecnologías aunque comprendo que es muy importante tener en cuenta la seguridad del usuario.

More BS than I can bear. Good luck :(
December 11, 2023

Technology didn't work at home. Waited on location for two hours to be verified on a video chat rather than by staff at the office. Pathetic system.

Needs work
December 4, 2023

My experience was good it was for the most part pleasant the only thing that I didn't care all that much for was the selfie video. If it were me, I would try to find a workaround from that because not everybody has access to a camera.

Much better than expected!
December 4, 2023

I thought this would be much worse...I anticipated long hold times and having to re-enter data multiple times. Scanning my ID front and back was simple. The live selfie verification did not work at all, and after several attempts, I was getting frustrated. I would need a live agent to verify my identity through a video chat (yay!)...after just a couple minutes, a man appeared, looked at me, then the pictures I uploaded of my ID, thanked me, and it was that simple! Amazing! Please get rid of the selfie part. Leave it to the pros!

No one likes being sidetracked from their task at hand in order to take care of another problem. Already being frustrated, I found the website irritated me, asking 1-2 questions and then having to confirm only to load the next page with another 2-3 questions. When it came time for a video with customer service the representative whom i dealt with was amazingly nice, understanding, and helpful. She offered real solutions to my problems instead of the runaround you get elsewhere. Once she was involved my verifications were done within minutes.

Very satisfied
December 4, 2023

ID.me was quick, simple, very easy to understand and use. I couldn't get into my SSA account when I tried to set one up through the SSA site on a Sunday. This saved me a lot of time and frustration if I would have had to contact SSA directly for help, I would have had to wait until Monday and wasted time trying to contact a live person.

Fast & easy to qualify.
December 4, 2023

It was very easy and quick even for a military spouse. I didn't have to list personal documents that would concern a person just to sign up. It took less than 10 minutes & i received a 30% discount at the Yeti site.
