Overall Experience
September 20, 2023

The identification process was very good just getting all the documentation needed to get through the ID.Me process. The main problem I've ran into was how to obtain the documents I was needing along with how to print and/or save. System needs more operation instructions without having to call to order copies sent via mail.

My review for ID.Me
August 19, 2023

The IRS helped me get my identity back as soon as possible. I also got spiritual and mental counseling as well as a full list of benefits to help me continue my education and help to take care of my family. I commend them for their special acts of service!

Suspended account
September 12, 2023

Terrible customer service/ support. I opened my account on July 3rd 2023. On July 25th I found out that my account is temporarily suspended when I tried to login in. I emailed support. On August 7 I received an email from support saying my account would remain suspended due to suspicious activity. I emailed support back and appealed the decision. I use the ID.me wallet app on my iPhone to log in. I have two factor authentication turned on. I have and would never share my login information with anyone. Today is August 12 2023 and I have yet to hear back from iD.me support. I am being denied access to my confidential and personal information. Not at all pleased and very frustrated with ID.me.

Not cellphone friendly
September 7, 2023

When attempting to use this site, I had to use a physical computer. When on a cell phone it would NOT allow me to ENTER my DOB. It continuously highlighted my info in RED and said my FORMAT was incorrect.
