Super quick and easy
April 14, 2023

I was a bit anxious when I started the process but it turned out to be really simple. You need to have your drivers license or form of ID ready and it accesses your phones camera and you take a picture of the front and the back. Then it does a scan of your face, also, using your phones camera. Then it just processes the whole thing and it's over.

Process was pretty straightforward and simple, just thought it was weird that Military IDs were not considered a valid form of ID.

Poor experience
May 14, 2023

After entering all my private info, it would not identify me. What else could I do? Called the number provided, spent 32 mins waiting on the phone, only for someone to pick up and immediately hang up without saying anything. No resolution. Bad experience.

A little hesitant to use ID.me for tax payments but setting up the account was easy since you are guided through the whole process. Sorry I waited so long to do it.

Worst on line experience ever!
May 14, 2023

It took me 2 days to finally reach an agent. None of the tools worked, causing me to try repeatedly.
I finally chose the live option, which was also difficult but not as bad. It went smoothly with the agent.
