Signing up with ID.me
December 11, 2025

I was hesitant to begin the process at first, because I had privacy and security concerns. The process was simple and I was able to complete it without issues. I will use it at every opportunity as it makes it easier than trying to remember several different passwords for different agencies.

Please remove my ID from your system.

An actual waste of taxpayer dollars
December 11, 2025

A third party contractor that exposes my personal information to hackers by creating an additional, privately held, database of information the VA already has.

The "service" places a barrier to service in the name of security while increasing the risk of a data breach.

Challenging process
December 11, 2025

There were a number of steps to verify my identity (and then verify my verification!), with several back and forth requirements to enter information and upload documents, including returning to prior instructions and/or browsers/devices.

Identity Thieves
December 11, 2025

Company harvests biometric data as a condition to access basic online services for SSA and taxes. Then sells consumer information to other companies without opt-out. Even before they are hacked and our information and ID pictures are stolen, they're withholding access to basic government services without allowing them to sell our information to spammers. This means that they are not a nice company.

Extremely annoying
December 11, 2025

I can understand the need to ID oneself when accessing medical information about your self. But the requirement for a photo ID to access a website is over the top.

ID.me is the 💣

I am on the process of claiming survivor's benefits thru the VA and being able to identify myself could not have been easier.
I was very skeptical about it at first but ID.me was super easy. I trust them totally

Lengthy, Tedious, Time Consuming
December 7, 2025

Started this on my first "free" morning in two weeks. I got an email saying that Social Security had a letter for me. Their IT people had messed up my log-in info so badly it was unusable, so I had opened an acct with IDMe several months before, so I'd have a better way to access Social Security.

Unfortunately, they didn't recognize my password for some reason, even though it was stored in my phone all this time. As a result, I had to go through the ENTIRE process over AGAIN, plus MORE!

It would time out when I got my drivers license. It timed out when I got my SS card. It timed out when I let the dogs out. It timed out when I got a call from my doctor. The instructions on a selfie video didn't pertain to my particular browser, so it timed out again! It didn't save any of my information entered previously, so each time I had to start over from scratch.

Eventually, I had to leave to pick up my grandchildren from their individual schools, which are quite a long distance apart, then feed them and take them to their individual afterschool activities—which took three hours. There was no way to pause this, so AGAIN, all was lost. At 6:30 pm I had to start over. By the time
I finished this entire form and all the photos required, the letter I had been trying to look at, that Social Security had posted, had EXPIRED! I never could retrieve it! I suppose they'll have to send it to me by registered mail!

Government Approved
December 7, 2025

This service worked flawless for access, the ease and speed of creating account to verify license, verifying phone number, facial recognition all flawless and for me it took about 15 minutes for you maybe less. I did the research this is approved by the U.S. government and is very secure and used widley.
