ID Me Review
May 23, 2023

I tried many hours during the day to ID me myself. I did not realize that my camera on my cell phone was not working properly so I could not do the task myself. I was reluctant to go to get it done, but had I just gone to UPS and had them do it, I would have saved hours of my time. I was in and out in less than four minutes and the task was completed. Very pleasant experience. Would recommend it highly!

Great options
May 23, 2023

I used the service to more securely access my SSA account. After some issues with auto document recognition I was offered the chance to love verify through a video chart session. The agent I had the chat with was very professional and a pleasure to interact with. Great overall experience. Feel very secure with this service.

I had to get copies of my IRS transcripts, and when I learned they'd changed their user accounts over to something I'd never heard of, I just knew it was going to be a hassle. But ID.me is anything but. The instructions were clear and straightforward, the process easy to follow, and everything just *worked* the first time.

K*I*S*S...keep it simple Sam
June 22, 2023

I've been with ID.Me for a while now. Retrieving my account is always easy. The face scan part is the worst. I've done a few scans and decided to just leave it alone. Face recognition shouldn't even be apart of the process. Use my personal information from past and present and let that be enough.
