Quick and Easy
April 21, 2023

Instructions to upload documents were straight forward and easy to understand. And fast... Didn't have to wait long for an agent for the required face to face zoom call at the end to verify my documents.

Best Customer service ever!
April 21, 2023

I had four different ID me accounts and the main account was one that I was not able to even access the email anymore I chatted in the system for help and I was greeted with the response from very professional knowledgeable CSR She fixed what she could via chat and then move forward with a video call to verify my identity with my face and my ID I was able to show it to her back in front in person and she was able to resolve my issue immediately delete the accounts that I didn't need anymore and update the one that I had no access to to the email that I had and access to so all in all it was a pleasure from start to finish. The CSR was very professional and she made it easy to understand and she was able to fix everything with one call bravo keep up the good work

By the time I was finished wading through this tangled process I wanted to throw my phone and my computer at the wall. Surely there is a less convoluted way to establish a secure identity system.

Quick and stress free!
April 21, 2023

I had to call and do my verification through Video, since I could not verify since I no longer had the number I used when I first started this process. It was quick and easy and my agent was very friendly and patient with me.

The application was easy to follow. The entire process took me less than 15 minutes, and my ID number was delivered in less than 2 minutes! It is a very thorough vetting process to assure that we are protected from identity theft. Thank you for this valuable tool.

ID.me is Atrocius
May 21, 2023

I vehemently wish I could give ID.me zero stars. Waste of my time to be required to use it to protect my own personal information for my own use. Would like if it a lot better if I had the option not to use it. I for one don't really care who knows how little I earned in the preceding tax years and the total dollar amount of taxes I paid from my paychecks all those years plus the additional tax I had to pay to the Treasury Department at filing.

A TAX LIGHT IN THE TAX WORLD
April 21, 2023

Hello my name is John Dillon. Today Friday the 20th of April 2023. I finally finished my 3 week ordeal of getting my taxes done, Then came the SCARY PART. Liberty Tax service in Palmdale, California prepared my taxes. Then I was advised about the path of DARKNESS. How to properly Identify myself. But wait there is a Beacon of Light in the Horizon. It is " ID.me ". Gods light shined down on my stress and ID.me took all of my fears away.

Thank You

John Dillon
