Simple & direct
November 22, 2023

The instructions to use ID.me was very easy to follow. Non complicated steps. Each step of the way the explanation was simple and to the point. As when I went to my e-mail to verify it, I was instructed to go back to my other screen. I had no trouble or confusion in what the step was. Very satisfied. It only took a few minutes from start to completion.

Identity alternative made easy
November 22, 2023

I tried to do the selfie picture identity but after 6 times and no luck I tried the video. Perhaps I did selfie being afraid of being ask many questions but wasn't the case. It was fast and easy. Perhaps faster than the selfie.

Impossible to verify with Irs
November 29, 2023

Got stuck in a loop and couldn't get verified despite taking pictures of id and facial scans. Loop went on for weeks.It didn't matter whether I was on the phone or on pc. Emailed support and they finally sent me an email link to resume process. Opted for video chat with an unfriendly and not helpful agent. Finally, got verified.

I think of my experience with other types of sites that have said they were secure in some sort of way. Because of the dissection of processing my identification and so on... Using a breakdown of separating of features to make out who it is that they are securing identification for is very refreshing

Verification was "fun"
November 29, 2023

It took repeated attempts and a crap ton of headaches over a 3-4 hour period just to get verified. Only reason I wouldn't give a zero star rating was the agent who assisted me on a video call.

Pleased with workflow for self registering - seamless transition to phone to get ID info and selfie and transfer back to web page when done. Was able to connect up with my preferred MFA app with no problems at all.

Nice when it works well! Thank you!
