Never give up
September 23, 2025

I had tried the other verification and failed several times. So I went with ID.me. It failed a few times but this program helped with things to do when failed and then I got to the place where the video call was an option. It worked but it takes 8 minutes to upload documents. It tells you up front.

I highly recommend using ID.me. The verification process is fast, secure, and gives you peace of mind knowing your personal information is protected through a trusted, government-integrated platform. It's one of the few digital tools that truly respects both compliance and user experience.- To the Governor of Maryland: As a Maryland resident engaged in federal contracting and fiduciary responsibilities, I urge the state to modernize MDConnect by integrating secure digital identity platforms like ID.me. The current login system is outdated and difficult to navigate, creating unnecessary barriers for taxpayers and professionals alike. Maryland must keep digital access alive—by aligning with trusted technologies that uphold civil integrity, protect user data, and reflect the standards of today's digital government.

Selfie Patience
September 22, 2025

The process was bit of a struggle to get my face in the camera for the selfie., There is a need for a great deal of patience with this part of the process. It took 4 attempts to get the selfie completed. The information from the tax reports from last year should be on the application as it has already been submitted. Trying to figure out what information was needed took some time to complete.

I use ID me for a variety of my two factor authorizations. Most of my access is conducted on my iPhone and I find this to be quick safe and easy to use. I have used other authorization methods and they are nowhere near as convenient. I highly recommend using ID me.

Personal experience review
September 22, 2025

Your process is tedious, impractical, time consuming and results with correct personal info, unsatisfactory. Don't know that I can trust the information you keep or release is correct! My email is still not correct with id.me….no way to satisfactorily get assistance with that. Need to rework process and get practical answers for
Help! Boy needs to be booted out, waste of time.

Upload Video Documents
September 22, 2025

Overall, it was good; however, the driver's licence and the video picture were a bit cumbersome. You could not determine if the picture went through on the video portion. Overall, it must have been ok because I had to sign out in order to know if it went through for sure.

New Setup Experience

Process is a bit bumpy using a cell phone. A laptop computer with camera would be a better choice. The system is somewhat frustrating to use.

Quick, easy, and secure!
September 22, 2025

I have only ever had to use ID.me twice, but when I do, it is so quick! The initial setup process does take a while, but once you have access to what you need, it is entirely understandable why they take these measures. They keep things secure so you have no question about whether or not your information is protected! And once you do have your information set up with their site, wow, is it ever easy to use!
