Trying to hit the lottery
April 11, 2026

My experience is very terrible so many passwords emails go back and do is go back and change this password oh the capital letter and a star and sign of it just so much. It's like a day gonna try to hit the lottery in the middle of the desert it's highly impossible to work with this ID crap senior picture here do a video there they might as well go take fingerprints and DNA samples. It is very unusual that they got you. Gotta talk to a live agent who don't care I don't know why they got them up there or her they don't care they just like oh hey how you doing? OK you clear then they're gone no sense of humor. No nothing I don't know who pay y'all or the people who pay the people to do this with these I can see firewalls and all that protection but ridiculous. It's like having a bank account with two $3 million in there and you can't even get in it.

Cannot use
April 11, 2026

The system has an inaccurate phone number for me (it is missing a digit) and there seems to be no one who can correct that. Thus, I cannot use the system.

I really like ID.me!
April 10, 2026

I needed to send information to the IRS, and ID.me made it so easy compared to other ways. I accomplished the task and was easily able to set up facial recognition as well.

Simple and seamless
April 10, 2026

I needed to create an account with the IRS and ID.me made the process of creating the means to sign in securely very easy and intuitive. The whole setup took 4-5 minutes and now I have a secure method to interface with several government websites.

You will be asked to upload photo ID (DL, passport, etc.), after which you will be asked to share a live selfie. If you are using your cell phone, make sure your camera is allowed access to your browser (e.g. Safari for iPhone users). On your phone, go to Settings>Apps>Safari, then scroll down to Camera and click on "Ask" or "Allow". I believe the default setting is "Deny". Once you allow your camera access to your browser the rest is self explanatory and easy.
