Thank you for helping me. With getting my identity verified. The agent was very helpful and kind.
Very easy to navigate, very simple interface, Seems like this should be the entry level application norm. We will see how secure it is.
Good made my day easy when setting up my cruse thank you
Quick, easy secure way to access your information. Getting authorized was fairly simple. Able to get the info I needed in just a few minutes.
Great job it was easy to follow. Everything was easy to read even though I have problem with my eyes. I am so glad you got InTouch
with me thanks.
Wonderful experience during filling up the form and it's easy to fool the instructions
Easy to use and so happy with it, thanks for the experience and excellent platform
Because the site was very user friendly my experience was stress free.
It took almost 4 hours to go through this from start to finish. It took much less time to file my taxes. Because of this I firmly believe that the IRS wants to harass honest taxpayers like myself. I never had any problems before this.
It took me a little bit longer than I expected but it was good, because of the security of my identity.
Friendly and professional service.secure and effective
I like to do all I can to be secure online. I had forgotten my ID Pin for this year and thankfully the retrieval process was almost painless.
Had all the help I needed. The agent helped get my id approved fast and easy…………………………………………………………….
The log in process is invasive and if this service was not required for the social security change of address process I would have thought it was a scam trying to steal my identity. Horrified that these tech companies can gather all our personal info in one spot, just wait until they are hacked, just like the credit report agencies and we all have identity theft as a result. You would hope big companies would learn their lessons, I guess not. The website is not even functional, nor does it have all the services the social security agency says are available. Very unhappy with my experience, I would not return, but ID.me is my social security access. Maybe I'll talk to my lawyer

The website is well designed and not confusing, I like that.
I am grateful and satisfied with the person who contacted me, she was kind to me and I had no problem understanding her, she taught me how to pronounce "slide it" as I didn't understand what I should do at that moment and I asked her if she could teach me how to say it, thank you.
