Excellent experience!
November 3, 2023

Clear and concise menus with instructions. In addition, when my Android phone prevented sharing a necessary picture, the ID.me website FAQ's were correct and useful in directing me to the solution of changing a setting deep in my phone's menus. I would highly recommend ID.me.

Frustrating
November 11, 2023

It was not agood. I had to do everything over ad over would not accept my ID for the longest time finally did accept it after getting text with numbers to verify who I was. It was exausating and I don'at understand how they don't know who I am after paying taxes over 60 years.

I wanted to be able to get to a LIVE video for a LIVE person to be able to view my ID's and confirm its me and confirm my identity. Rather than being able to do that, there are too many hoops to jump through and so I didnt have ANY way to do it as it kept rejecting this idea.

Fast and easy
November 3, 2023

I applied for the Cox discount program and they have to verify ID with id.me and I was very happy with how it worked. The seamless went back and forth from the IRS to ID and backed it from ID to back to the IRS and everything was done. I didn't literally have to do anything other than watch
