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.

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.

Easy Process
October 30, 2023

This process was very easy. I had a short video conference with an agent, showed her the physical copy of the front and back of my social security card, and the front and back of my active state driver license. This was needed to prove who I am. That was it. It took about 10 minutes, very easy as long as you have the correct documents.

We should make more veterans aware of the access to VA materials through ID.me. Service Officers and everyone else should provide knowledge about the tool early in veterans' journey with the VA.
Service Officers should provide a simple explanation and pamphlet about the access tool to veterans upon their first visits.

HORRIBLE
November 6, 2023

I received a postcard supposedly from the IRS. It feels like a SCAM but I signed up and then it says I'm only set up for INDIVIDUAL access. I was able to get into a site [who knows if it's a SCAM] but when clicking on anything nothing happens. SO NOW I'M REALLY CONCERNED. This was supposed to be a setup for 2023 IRS filings for the company I work for. Now I'm concerned someone stole my IDentity. I had to go and LOCK my credit file with the big 3 and am hoping someone will contact me at ID.me. NO ONE HAS YET. SO I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED!
