Slow to verify
May 23, 2023

It took forever to verify. The first time was unsuccessful and the second time left me loading hell. Eventually a message popped up saying due to heavy volume they will email me to let me know if I was verified. Thank goodness I was.

If at first you don't succeed...
April 23, 2023

I didn't know when I was trying to use Id.me but my webcam was having issues connecting to the site, even though it said it was connected on my end. The first agent who got my call, I guess he couldn't see me, because he disconnected after a moment. But the second agent waited around for a second and then told me he couldn't see or hear me - was I having connection issues? I did the first thing I could think of and I shared my screen to show him I was actually there. He saw it and offered to do a Zoom meeting with me instead. After that, the entire process was quick and easy and I'm super thankful to that agent for going the extra mile and finding a way for us to still have our meeting. Thank you!

Horrible!
May 23, 2023

It was supposed to take 5-10 minutes to set up an account. It took nearly an hour. It is impossible to "return to the first open tab in your browser" while using a phone and following their instructions. I finally gave up, and just happened to stumble on the right button to push to go back to the first open tab. It shouldn't be this difficult! I am writing to my Congress member to suggest their contract not be renewed.

The agent was very professional.
April 23, 2023

The agent was very professional. The agent helped to review the documents, angle the camera, and understand how to use the ID to access my account. I am still retrieving documents in this very busy tax season, I am still very stressed, and I am still not finished, but I am well on my way. It takes dedicated, patient people to help people in the tax season and I know they often get little rest. Talking with the agent instead of an AI figurine certainly gave me the tools to get me on my way. THANK YOU!
