ID.me is great
January 9, 2026

Easy to use. Friendly and helpful. Within a half hour I had accomplished something with their help that would have taken me an entire day to accomplish had I done it in person. I appreciate their help and friendliness.

My identity verification and approval process was delayed by approximately 25 days despite submitting valid and complete documentation.

During this delay, my original application—opened promptly when I first became eligible—was overridden. As a result, only the most recent submission date was recognized, rather than the initial filing date.

This created unnecessary confusion and financial uncertainty, especially since the delay was caused by repeated verification requirements rather than user inaction. Clearer communication, better continuity between verification steps, and safeguards against overriding earlier applications would significantly improve the experience.

Don't use ID Me!
January 9, 2026

I spent a lot of time doing the steps to setup and ID ME secure account and after all that I couldn't get into the SSA website. They have no customer service phone number and their AI bot is stupid. I don't understand why they don't pilot this $#*! before they roll it out. They don't have any interns try to log into SSA account and use ID ME before selling it to the federal government? And why doesn't SSA have anyone try to log into and setup an
Account before they give this company a contract?

TERRIBLE SERVICE and SYSTEM
January 9, 2026

The worst and most annoying experience dealing with arrogant and disrespectful staff. Almost impossible to submit a formal complaint and the so called supervisors do not contact you. TERRIBLE SERVICE and CUSTOMER SERVICE, they are as useless as a THREE DOLLAR BILL.

Saves you money!
January 8, 2026

I can now file my own taxes. Using services like H&R Block for expat tax filing typically costs $120–$180, and with the yen exchange rate, that ends up being roughly 1.5 times higher. Since my income is below the U.S. taxable threshold for foreign-earned income, I was essentially paying a significant fee just to file a return that results in zero taxes owed. Being able to complete the process myself through ID.me saves me both money and unnecessary stress.

Was verified for a discount for a purchase with Suunto, but when I was sent back to the Suunto site to complete the purchase, no discount was applied. Spent 30+ minutes online with Suunto support and they couldn't fix the problem. Waste of 45 minutes.

Data mining
January 8, 2026

All they collect is your license details and your SSN.
It doesn't log in to any SS accounts.
I suspect that it's 100% a fraud and scam.

Trouble with signing in.

I tried uploading document images more than ten times and they were rejected, since I was uploading them from my laptop, while the same images were accepted when I uploaded them from my phone. There was no instruction on the website to upload them directly from the phone without going through WhatsApp.

Safe and secure
January 8, 2026

I lived and worked in America for almost 20 yrs so now in retirement I receive social security and have to file taxes. This method of verification is excellent for me as I now live outside America. The process of being permitted to enroll was very efficient, with a live video call to prove who I am, including verification of id paperwork. I feel extremely safe and confident in using ID.me.

Do not give over your biometrics to this company. Give up your license before allowing them to collect this intimate information. It is not worth it in the long run.
