Intrusive
May 14, 2023

It violates a persons's right to privacy. There's no reason why anyone should be asking people for their sexual preferences and or genders. Wether you're heterosexual or homosexual or bisexual, binary or nonbinary. Wether you were born a woman or man or something else. It should not be a requirement to answer any of these questions in order to access your personal account information.then you make matters worse by having a person certify that their review is real by checking a box under the threat of perjury! Really asinine!

Is it too much to ask for my business with the government to remain between ourselves? Why is this private company inserting itself into basic functions of governance? I had to send them personal biometric data and jump through hoops in order to view my tax transcripts. I'm disappointed and appalled by everyone involved.

Safe service
April 14, 2023

Had technical difficulties with my scanned documents when creating Id.me account so an agent had to validate them through a live video call. The agent took care of it and she was very professional and courteous and resolve the issue. She made me feel SAFE during the whole process. And she triple confirmed my identity which it made me feel even more secured. I strongly recommend this ID.me thing
