My experience was overall great. The agent was professional and everything went smoothly.
Me gusto rápido y muy amables,espero que sigan haci...
This is unnecessarily, difficult, frustrating, and ineffective. You can easily waste way too much time and effort to do what isn't really difficult. I do not recommend.
If it does not work the first time try again, do not give up, you are bound to get results
I did have help from my tax accountant so I was able to get through the process. I think it would have taken me a lot longer without help because I'm not tech savvy. Anyone can do it as my phone is a piece of junk and it still worked, even the facial scanning!
Verified codes over and over and over. The scanning of my face was extremely weird.
Hello Beverly. We’re glad you were able to complete your verification successfully. We appreciate your feedback! -T, ID.me
A bid difficult, based on my poor computer knowledge.
But the learning was appreciated!
Id.me staff is very professional! Have a great day!
Easy and helpful personal. Was better with an agent.
I found it best not to be frustrated during the ràaswegistration process. Hyphenated items may or may not be entered depending on if there's an error message.
The system that they have in place is long and repetitive and stressful. I had the most difficult time proving that that was my identity which I don't understand why because that is me. I am him. And potentially now will have my benefits denied and I will have to redo my application all over again and miss out on 2 months of benefits that I was supposed to receive because of the difficulty I had trying to get my SDI claim through EDD it's ridiculous

The software assisted me through the process of establishing credibility in identification and made it quite pleasant. I began with a great deal of apprehension, but completed my verification feeling comfortable and accomplished. Even an older person can complete this identity verification process unassisted by family members or support staff. Easy. Quick. I highly recommend ID.me.
Fast and smooth transition the last time I tried it was impossible
A relatively smooth experience given the complexity of the task at hand. ID.me performed well.
Had to enter information twice, never a good feeling when giving out personal information.
I have always found the ID.me site to be of great help and secure..
