Terrible experience
November 13, 2023

I had a terrible experience. Verification couldn't verify my phone number that's been my number for 20+ years. Site continually had errors. Had to do a video verification after waiting in a queue > 1 hour.

The authentication process starting from the government site to the id.me process appears to work. The problems seem to be with the hand-off from the id.me site back to the originating government site would not happen. There was a constant loop from from me clearing the cache, closing the browser, back to the dot gov site, to the 2AF verification, back through the Id.me verification process back to originating government site in an unending loop. After approximately 2 and a half hours of that nonsense, I quit!

Zero Stars!
November 13, 2023

My spouse recently passed away unexpectedly and I am being required to deal with the VA online. ID.me was a source of continual aggravation for my husband when he was alive. Now that I'm having to deal with ID.me, I admire him even more for his patience and perseverance. The service is a complicated compilation of lousy options and poorly performing software that requires you to repeatedly perform tasks that take well over the stated 5-10 minutes for completion. The elderly veterans I know would undoubtedly have serious problems with this process. Yet another way the VA makes accessing benefits and information more trouble than it's worth for many, I'm sure.

I'm a US citizen that's overseas I needed some information I needed my ID to be verified by using ID.me service. It was an easy step-by-step process. It took just minutes to get completed through everything and when I had to do a video conference to verify my information, the person was helpful and I felt comfortable with them. They made sure that I had everything I needed, and then I got approved. Simply amazing. I will recommend this to anyone don't be shy, why not try IDme.com
