ID Me typical government complex
November 16, 2025

It's hard to get into with all the stuff you have to do so you can use the website. It should not be that hard getting there so you can do things online.

Difficult app
November 16, 2025

Why do you have to spend 30 minutes to log in and the no avenue to get this done. All I want to do is order C-pap supplies. That Denver acquisition is a joke. I called 2 a day for 2 weeks, I never spoke to a person. Put on hold for 30 minutes then disconnect.

IRS harassment
November 16, 2025

Everything is way too complicated for senior citizens. We don't all work on computers. We don't know how to do pictures how to do all this stuff and there's nobody to help us nobody to answer the phone you want us to do online chat, which is nothing but more complications. It's just the same old thing everywhere you go no good customer service.

I had to create a new account, and in order to get verified I had to download the front and back of my DL which was not a big problem but taking the selfie video was tricky.

More than bargained for...
November 16, 2025

I used ID.me as recommended on IRS.gov in order to request some needed documents.

The good:
* Once completed, it works!
* fairly easy to complete
* easy to comprehend
* The video selfie is easy and a bit fun

The bad:
* I kept getting kicked out during the "enter your driver's license pics" portion. Take your pics before you start the process!

The ugly:
* Although I was promised that there would be an opportunity to remove some of my data, once the process completed, it was locked in. DONT start this if you don't intend them to have a bunch of personally identifying data... I figure the government has it all anyway, but it's startling to see it all listed and you can't take it back.

Identify check
November 16, 2025

My main concern was getting my ID photograph. I'm driver license into the system. At the verifying my information I realize my phone number was incorrect. I tried several times but the system did not take my phone number. Kind of strange. They sent me messages on my phone, but it did not correct my home address phone, which is my cell phone bottom line satisfied I realize everybody got a job to do and I'm just hoping that we work together thanks. Great job.

Completion of id me
November 16, 2025

I tried to complete id me with verfication from my flip phone. Could not get my copy of dl to source, would not accept it, so i used a family members smart phone to complete the process. I can use my flip phone to receive the 6 digit phone code with no problem though. After the verification process was complete, i have no problem with getting into the irs and checking messages...

Too too many verifications
November 15, 2025

Do this if you are applying for a job with the FBI. I was verifying for several hours and gave up 3 times. I had to get help with the selfie, we did that 4 times, very frustrating.

How you rate this new system
November 15, 2025

Really I liked the old system, very simple. After having the VA Clinic help me to have this new system, used it once after having it, it's fine. Then came along the second time, gotten no where, just decline. That put me out in the dark since I use it to tell the VA of my needs. If I don't inform them of my needs, get nothing in return, something I need to have

This system is useless.
November 15, 2025

My account access has been suspended and this entire system does nothing but route me through an endless bot loop. What a joke. Not that I expected anything more from a government system.

They take all your info and flash SUCCESS at every step and then they tell you they cannot authenticate you. Well I know how to spell my name, my SS, DOB, Address but they say it's not proof that I am me

I was able to search for my Medicare Number without going through my documents.
There used to be two factor identification for increased safety of my personal data.
