ID.me Review
April 18, 2023

The process is done in such a way that it's virtually impossible to mess up. I had an account with them already which made the time involved even shorter. I would highly recommend this as the easiest way to have your ID verified.

Simple, Encouraging and Secure
April 18, 2023

First i felt I was not able to do it. My first impression was this could be a scam with someone wanting my ID information. I called their customer service and they assured me that this was a secure process and agency. I proceeded to fill out the necessary information. They made it so easy. Step 1, Step 2, Step 3. I got through Step 1 and succeeded on to Step 2. I struggled a bit getting pictures and photos to assure it was me but I finally did it because they kept encouraging me to finish. And I did. I am so glad I stuck with it and they stuck with me to the end. Thank you ID.me

The ID.me process of signing in was able to verify that I was the person who had previously opened an ID.me account, but has thus far given me no way to replace the email account name that I do not remember.

I needed to get information about my past years. And that meant I had to prove my identity; I went through a step-by-step process and established my ID with IRS. The process requires patience, but you can do it. Yes, you do need a smart cell phone.

Not Tech literate use video chat
April 18, 2023

Although the initial computer processing of documents is a bit overwhelming, the video chat made up for that. Agent Andrea was great to work with during the brief video chat. She was calming, knowledgeable and a pleasure to speak with.

Satisfying experience
May 18, 2023

My daughter did most of the work. It took a certain amount of time but once we had secured the required documents (passport, SS card) we were able to move on.
Maybe you could have a special ID.me for people living abroad to speed up the process.
We all possess a SS card and US passport. However our driving license are foreign and a foreign electrical bill would not be accepted either.

I really would appreciate if I didn't put in all that information only to get an incomplete error occurred statement. It just kept saying something went wrong after I put in all my information.
