Even though it took a long time to go through the process, I felt it was secure and safe.
The whole process was very easy to navigate through to provide the needed information. I think this was the perfect way for anyone to easily verify their identity.
Self verification failed for no clear reason, so was forced to go through video verification. Long wait times at several stages (and inaccurate estimates of wait times) before connecting to a video verification agent. This apart from concerns about sharing this much personal and biometric information with a private company that I cannot tell comes under any regulatory body to ensure it's security and use. There needs to be way to log into IRS without going through this terrible service.
The photo ID uploads took a bit of time, since I had never done that before but everyone was patient and helpful. The security is far superior to other connections I have used.
It was fast and easy to complete the ID verification. And it seemed secure with several ways to confirm. I was hoping to get more information about the payments I've made, but it was basically a good experience.
Very easy to use. Also very simple. I was confident that my information will be private. Highly recommend.
I am totally lacking in computer skills. This program did all the work and made the reading simple for me. I highly recommend this. I was apprehensive but it really was quick and easy.
Simple and easy. So my experience was not difficult I'm not sure what else to say thank you

After struggling with everything from applying for credit to getting my tax refunds, all my identification issues were resolved when I finished ID.me. It was super easy and I would recommend this site to everyone who has ever been denied because of lack of information or nonexistent information..
My experience with ID.me was great. I was thinking that the process would take so much time but it was fast and simple. I would recommend to people to use it. For me it was easier than making a phone call and talking to someone.
I felt need to have all my necessary documents ready. Fortunately, it went well.
Thank you very much
