I don't know whether to call this a service or a platform or whatever, but it made a complex process as simple as possible. I was impressed and felt confident that it was secure. Really, it made me have new respect for the IRS.

Simply the Best
November 9, 2023

After having a couple of fraudulent transactions, ID.me's level of security was off the chain!
I felt confident and secure divulging my personal information to a total stranger!
Absolute professional, the fact they actually have to see you to verify your identity! I dare any scammer to try and hack this system!

The agent was so professional, but at the same time made you feel at ease - Thank you

Keep up the 'Fort Knox' service!

I needed to apply for disability my phone number changed which meant I was unable to get verification code. For over 6 days I sent messages to support only to get a robot with inch couldn't do any but ask generated questions!
I am so upset and maybe the government needs to shut down illegal immigration's if Americans getting their well deserved benefits are being hindered due to an insufficient verification process!
6 days before I got assistance to be able to apply for disability!

Seamless verification
November 9, 2023

I chose ID.me when I was required to pick a 3rd party verification system for paying federal withholding for my employer. The SSA has recently required additional security measures requiring an increased level of verification. I had to verify my physical identity against my driver license. It was a slick process. Now that I'm verified it's pretty slick to get into these websites to get my work completed.
