I had a positive experience with the site. I had to upload documents for verification purposes but it was an easy process from start to finish.

Grueling process!
December 6, 2023

Took over two hours to complete this process, had to stay glued to my computer for what they said was 39 minutes for an agent, reality, 1.5 hours not 39 minutes, must stay at your computer or lose place in que and must get in line again! What a huge hassle! Don't put yourself through this grinder!

My experience with ID.Me was very helpful and fast. The people were friendly and the video agent was super helpful in making sure that everything was done correctly and professionally. NJ department of labor is a great way to get anyone's life back together again. I highly recommend taking advantage of the opportunities and resources that are available.

Unsatisfactory
November 29, 2023

I have email accounts *******@aol.com and *******@yahoo.com. My old iRS account is AOL and my me account is yahoo. I have reported this thru your automated service bot Roy. When I sign in to and go to the IRS affiliate site, I am still reqinuired to sign in to Irs for traginnscrips. No combinations of login/password works. What is the purpose of adding id.me to the process if I still have to sign in to IrS. Stymied for months with this process. Unsatisfactory

ID.me won't bite you.
November 29, 2023

Basically some online site enrollments can get somewhat confusing in their instructions. ID.me is straightforward and easy-to-use. If I can do it, then anyone can!

Fantastic Experience
November 29, 2023

I'm so proud that the government is taking aggressive steps to protect the social security of its seniors. This new system of security prevents others from gaining access to our monthly benefits. I salute you!

The whole i.d me experience was fast and secure. I mean I actually was in my own room being identified as the real me, while the other guy is out there doing who knows what. Any, just go for it. It's so easy

Took 10 days to get issue resolved
December 6, 2023

The process is slow and cumbersome. When I tried to get in touch with customer service, it took 4 days to hear back from a customer service representative. The customer service representative was really helpful, but the system straight up didn't work despite multiple attempts and she ended up having to manually override to get it to work.
