The company has garnered a mixed reputation, with notable strengths in its identity verification service, which many users found secure and efficient, particularly praising the helpfulness of customer service during video calls. However, significant concerns were raised regarding the complexity of the verification process, which some customers found frustrating and time-consuming, particularly older users or those with unique identification issues. Additionally, delays and technical difficulties, including issues with document acceptance and login credentials, have led to dissatisfaction among several users. Overall, while the service is valued for its security, improvements in user experience and support are essential.

After providing a significant amount of personal information—without clarity on why it is required—the system repeatedly produces unresolved error messages. There is no available phone support or assistance, making the process unnecessarily difficult and frustrating.
I couldn't file my taxes I need to do this as Trump will only give money to Americans who file taxes. I only get social security and I needed help and got none. AI had nothing for me
I was at first a little caught off guard by the confidence with there behavior and personality. With a little getting to know one another we shared feelings and I became comfortable and understood and was confident it was secure and legal!
Very convenient and fast. Just follow the steps patiently and trust the service. It's for your safety. Easy as piece of cake.
I i've been trying to download taxes from 2023 and I'm having trouble getting to the page where it would allow me to upload them.
A single sign-on provider that makes it easier for individuals to prove their identity online. It allows users to verify their identity once and then use that verified identity across various websites, particularly government agencies, healthcare providers, and retailers. This simplifies access to online services while enhancing security and privacy.
I downloaded all that was required and still could access my SSA account. Could never talk to a live person to find out what was wrong. 3 hours of total frustration. 🙁
Be aware that ID.me is an independent company providing an authenticaion service to the IRS. Read instruction options carefully. I thought this was a paid prescription service. Only one of the authentication options is.
If your license photo won't upload, try again the following day.
The selfie step is tricky. I takes a photo of your face when it's ready, not when you are. There wss no opportunity to view and accept or redo (that I could see).
I had been login in to the accounts at my knowledge and was able to get paper work done over the smart phone. I recommend anyone who has confidence with patients to get it done over ID me. Follow the instructions and you'll be done quicker. Thank you.
Apparently I am required to use this website before I am allowed to register a standardized test (which I already paid for).
Functions of this website:
This website takes all of my private information even my selfie, and then states "it cannot verify". Ok.
It then asks me- for a second phone number.
Has it occurred to them, it is possible for a person to NOT HAVE a second phone number?
To NOT own a property (being a young adult)?
To NOT be a borrower?
Whoever created this website did not think things through and should be ashamed. It wastes people's time. It contributes to stress when required for a time-sensitive purpose.
I have done nothing wrong and my information is correct. This website is not only suspicious, it cannot even do what it claims it can do!
In fact, this website acts EXACTLY like the identity fraudsters it claims to protect against.
It took months, maybe even a year, to get ID.me setup so that I could access the IRS. I hate the product and wish there was something better. And I'm a CPA. If everyone had my experience, ID.me would be out of business!
It was easy and smooth since I've been using this account for a while now. Feels like pressure from today's politics being lifted from my shoulders.
The site is not conducive to obtaining access to the desired information after following all the necessary steps to supposedly doing so.
I returned to the country where I was born after my American husband passed away. In this country, I use my maiden name for my bank account and utility bills. I couldn't get through the verification process until ID.com gave me the option to "Name slightly different from the one on the documents submitted" or something like that. That detail allowed me to complete the verification because my driver's license had expired more than a year ago. I've now managed to access my Social Security account.
Sometimes you have a problem that you need help from a real person. ID me is an excellent tool but some registration problems are unique.
I had tried before to do the ID.Me. Finally because of the work I do, I HAD TO! Took me some time, but when I reread things and downloaded the correct APP, it went mostly smooth. There is a person out there to video chat with if you need. (Make sure to read what documents you'll need ahead of time and charge your cell phone and it goes like a breeze)
Experience was some what easy, but i did my information online which i slow at using the computer, but i was satisfied with my ability to use the computer. 😃
Once you're signed up and your information is on file, you're usually just a text with a verification code away from being able to sign into government and other accounts very easily.
Sketchy tool, flagged as malicious activity. Has excessive permission far beyond the scope of works it needs to do, access data not required for verification. Avoid unless required.
