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

I needed documents from a government website, and the site uses ID.me to verify customer's identity before allowing file access. It was very simple and quick and I got the documents I needed.

ID.me is super convenient and easy, assuming you have a smartphone with a camera and a good internet connection on your phone. So thankful I didn't have to call, fax, mail, go in person, etc.

Was secure to the next level
April 14, 2023

I thought it was a bit redundant. Once I got to the part where I video chatted with an agent I knew I'd better be able to verify myself.was quick to the point.not unpleasant at all better than filling in all my info over and over and over and over.

Be patient
April 14, 2023

In order to gain access to information on a previous tax form, I needed to do this process. I'm not good with processes like this one, but it did give me clear directions and gave me time to follow them. It was smooth until it came to the "selfie" portion. It was trying to match my facial features with the photo ID I'd provided. It took quite a while and several tries to manage my cellphone to get the right angle, the right distance, and the right background, but eventually the selfie was accepted and the process completed.
