The process to sign up was over all easy. I HOPE the app holds up to its name.
Once I got into ID.me it was easy to find my way around.

Do it on your iphone. Pc didn't have the camera. On the pc there was no way to photo the license and send it in
My tax and financial documents were destroyed in a fire that led to me not filing my taxes. After, a year of running into obstacles, I was finally informed by an IRS agent about this site to obtain a transcript of your wages and other financial statements like 1099etc. It was all there and I didn't have to wait for the mail. I was able to print a copy right away. It may take a few extra minutes to verify your identity, but it was worth it for security. Once you're cleared, it's very simple to navigate the site. I wish I had known about this site a long time ago.
Platform has issues, hate having to use it. I don't feel it's safe if I can't even access my own account.

After being on hold with the IRS for 2 hours & 4 minutes for the recording to come on and say they are experiencing telephone difficulties try and call again CLICK!
I signed on with ID.me what a easy wonderful experience!
Getting to talk to an actual in-person agent made the process go much more smoothly! I am 70 years old and not computer literate; I needed all the help I could get!
Questions were easy and to the point. They didn't need your life history to find you.
Same as above. Was relatively easy except for taking the pictures with the smart phone.
Wonderful it was a little difficult at first but got through
