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.

Overall, while the service is valued for its security, improvements in user experience and support are essential.

ID.me Experience
November 1, 2023

ID.me needs to provide the potential user with a "checklist" of items that they need to have before starting this procedure including the photo capability needed by the user to upload.

The tutorial steps from ID.me could be written better or more automated

Got through the registration but it took a while doing so

Understand we appreciate the new security measures that ID.me offers the user which is great but more thought is needed on ID.me end to realize that there are millions of people that are not computer or phone capabilities..

Don't be scared. Almost painless.

This highly sophisticated process carefully walks you through the necessary steps, with enough time to complete. Although intimidating initially, it worked seamlessly to identify me.

Impossible
November 1, 2023

I tried for about an hour for this thing to verify me so I can look at my social security statement. I put in pins that they sent me at least six times answered all the questions did all the things. It was ridiculous and I never got in

Suspended Account
October 31, 2023

It was difficult and time consuming verifying to create an account. Finally though, after a few days and a video interview, I was in, I could identify with government agencies. Then, randomly, my account has been suspended. The only communication from the company is with an automated bot they named Roy. There has not been one live agent contacting me in over a week. I dont even know how long the account has been suspended, no one contacted me of suspension via email or text. It was just suspended. Bi had been using it about a month ago. I need documents for financial aid. This system is going to hold up my ability to finish college, among other things in my life. It's terrible communication and customer service and tomorrow I'm finding out where or what government agencies I can report their shoddy business practices. I'm not fraudulent or a criminal. I didn't report fraud on my account. They have literally randomly disabled my ability to work with my own identity with government accounts. It's creepy and scary and wrong.
