This will not be quick, js
May 5, 2023

You're literally gonna get your face scanned! You will also have to chat, in video, with a real live human being to show everything they've already made you upload. Very invasive. Texted verification codes Literally took hours to come through. Good app format tho ngl

ID.ME EXPECT NO HELP!
May 5, 2023

Everyone has bad days but the people I had to deal with were rude and not helpful, I was given incorrect numbers to call, false information, m calls were disconnected several time and I was on hold for over and hour when I tried to get through. This was an experience I will never forget.

Struggled
May 5, 2023

I had to do the process many times before it would verify. If people do not have technology skills it is a problem. I am concerned with elderly who don't possess the skills and/or the equipment to even complete the process. There should be a way to contact the IRS easily for help or other options to verify.

Time consuming
May 5, 2023

The process was too time consuming but otherwise I felt secure in delivering my information I even Google to be sure that it was a secure site and it was so that made me feel a little more comfortable because in the beginning I was apprehensive about giving my information over the internet
