ID.me Review
November 13, 2023

Was offered to use ID.me for a discount from a merchant and found I could not use with the current promo they were offering, which was fine. I understand there are limits.

See survey answers... And then if you look at them come back and compare it to this answer because whatever I wrote previously about being a veteran and using my driver's license as a valid form of identification and proof that I'm actually a veteran still sticks.

Unhappy and unsatisfied
November 20, 2023

Trying to log into a government site today I had to verify my ID several times, what should have taken a few minutes became several hours, today was not unusual from experiences I have had. I recently moved and need to change my address however have not been able to log in to make those changes due to having a new address and phone number. I am also not able to access my medical records or the site that handles my prescriptions and appointments. As a disabled veteran I find this unacceptable.

ID me is simple and easy
November 13, 2023

Hello! I.D. Me is easy and secure! The questions are simple and straightforward, I provided information that I knew of hand or could easily find in a quick internet search. The process of providing the information took less time then actually registering. The registration process was your standard everyday app sign up. Don't stress ID me, super easy!

Horrible system, service
November 20, 2023

System failed to confirm over and over, numerous attempts and emails, customer service just kept saying try again.
Every time their system failed, only after I threatened a civil action in my local court did their customer service then manually verify my military service.
Absolutely the worst service ever!
