ID.me Reviews Summary

The company has garnered a mixed reputation, with notable strengths in its identity verification service, which many users found secure and efficient, particularly praising the helpfulness of customer service during video calls. However, significant concerns were raised regarding the complexity of the verification process, which some customers found frustrating and time-consuming, particularly older users or those with unique identification issues. Additionally, delays and technical difficulties, including issues with document acceptance and login credentials, have led to dissatisfaction among several users. Overall, while the service is valued for its security, improvements in user experience and support are essential.

Efficient, secure, privacy protecting
November 18, 2023

I used my NY Drivers License for enrolling in ID.me for IRS.gov. Started on my PC, then provided my mobile number and received the link on my mobile as SMS, followed the prompts, provided the snapshots requested for my drivers license (had to take them twice), then enabled the camera for a selfie against a white background (no glasses, that was tricky for me, couldn't see the instructions),, waited a few seconds for approval, went back to my PC to confirm information presented to me, and completed the whole process, from beginning to end, in about 5 min.

I like the product. Needs some honing of it's intuitiveness. Keep the instructions more concise and with a visual roadmap to walk us through the process. Keep up the good work!
