I would recommend a friend to use id.me because it was very effective as far as handling my business over the phone or video call exstreamly nice
I have experienced a great yet safe vibe with this service today and it created a big trust in giving out confidential information. Thank you. I'll continue to spread the safe vibe through out to those who I am dear to. Thank you.
Sincerely, Stacy L.
My experience was great and the customer service was very professional.
Trying to use ID.me and get some real help was very frustrating. Bumped from agent to agent and then was placed on home for "30-60 minutes". After 30 minutes is appeared that my call was going to be answered but then my phone hung up. Taxes are frustrating enough and you have to add to it.
The whole verification process was fast and easy. The customer service agent was super kind and easy to work with.
She did her job and I want her to do the same thing next year
After more than an hour, filling out the forms twice, submitting two different types of identify, I was denied both times. The chat-bot was useless. No option to speak to a real human. Very frustrating!

Easy to use software applications online and through the phone. Clear directions even for first-time users. Tip - use a camera picture of your I.D. downloaded to your phone so it's easy to upload. Then delete it off camera and cloud for extra security.
Fue muy practico, seguro y confiable. La rapidez de la respuesta a la video llamada y la atención en el idioma fue muy rapida
Tax time can be hectic, annoying,and seemingly imposible, options to help in situations such as these can be a lifesaver.
First time Ive had a great experience with a service such as this.
Even the most difficult part of a video call, having the call drop, was handled well and better than expected. This system was very valuable after an identity theft of considerable consequence.
It was a quick and simple process. The lady was very understanding and helpful. Definitely go thru them
I was finished in 10-15 minutes with a project that would've taken hours before
The whole process was very simple. The agent I have talked to was very professional and very patient regarding direct me throughout the whole process.
