Good and well done and I appreciate the help and the results that comes with it
Corey, the customer service representative was very professional, supportive, and effective. The system is very user friendly and efficient as well.
Mi experiencia fue muy buena, el agente súper atento y con mucha disponibilidad y disposición para ayudar.
The ID.me representative who helped verify my documents via video chat was very professional, approachable, patient, and courteous. She was very efficient and the verification process was done in less than 10 minutes. I'm very satisfied with this experience! Thank you.
This process was quick and easy. They helped me get my taxes filed after a few days of issues. Thank you!
My camera and microphone work, but didn't wotk with ID.me. I have used ID.me before. A simple two step verification should be good enough. Now they have added a third and fourth step. I was unable to sign in to the IRS and complete my tax payment because of a glich in your app.
I was a little unsure of what to expect, but once I followed the simple step by step instructions my account was verified quickly and secure. I was amazed by all the discounts available out there.
This site needs allot of work done. Good luck finding the right info you need and don't have to go thru every tab to find the right thing. I'm probably gonna charged penalties because the site doesn't clearly tell you where to go to see what you need. It's all bunched up and feels like the site was made to give false hope. Not sure if my payment plan went through, no email to confirm it, just a page that says you're good but no follow up acceptance has been seen.

The verification process is easy and secure. They take you through the steps and explain concisely what's needed. It's painless and I appreciate their commitment to providing an excellent product!
Setting up my account with ID.me was simple and very straightforward. I took a couple photos, entered my information, verified my information and I was all set from there.
I was able to retrieve my Pin with ease and my ID verification was secure and quick. I had my e-fle rejected because I needed my 2022 Pin so I logged in online to the IRS website and was able to retrieve the 2022 Pin to submitted my e-file returns.
ID.me is an excellent platform to verify your identity and is a very useful tool to present your DD214 when needed. It's very fast and simple to use and I would strongly recommend it.
