IDme nightmare.
February 3, 2026

The most complicated and difficult side I've ever been on. If I could give it a -10, I would. Very difficult and accepting any photo I document you try to load. It took me over three hours to get it to accept uploads. Finally, once complete, I went back in and it said the information was not recognized. So now I have to start the whole process again. The last time it took me over four hours. Unless you have to use that I highly recommend avoiding this site like the plague.

A driver's license should be sufficient ID for this process - why is an invasive video selfie needed? Another way to enter everyone into the current regime's national data base, so they can spy on everything that you do!

Convoluted and terrible
February 3, 2026

We were forced to use this to log into Social Security and it could not verify anything despite having all documents requested. We had to schedule a in person meeting at the Social Security offices a month out as soon as we got there, they informed us how the service is unreliable in identifying even with the documents they request. Do not use them if you have any choice.

The process took too long and asked for way more information than necessary (IMO). If you can use a different way to log into your SSA account, you should consider trying that different way first!

Efficient way to get the job donee.
February 3, 2026

I had gotten through the entire process on a government website until the system did not verify my phone number. I'd been through driver's license and face identification fine and had been trying to get my phone number verified for over a hour. This phone number is the only one I've had for 15 years. In desperation I tried ID.me. In less than half an hour, I was verified and I was able to finish my other chore quickly thanks to ID.me.

Finally able to verify phone number!
February 3, 2026

ID.ME was what finally got husbands phone number verified. (His name was not on our phone bill is why we couldn't get it verified!). So you could try adding names to phone bills first. ID.ME keeps asking me if we feel secure using them - who knows yet? But we were able to finally get phone verified and access SSA.gov using them. Also we weren't sure we could have both IDME and Login.gov. Turns out you can.

Secured Identity
February 3, 2026

A few years ago a co worker introduced our team to ID.me. I was skeptical, but I decided to try it. Protecting my identity was and remains important to me. ID.me was easy to set up and it is the source that I use to sign in when prompted. I highly recommend. ID.me to anyone who wishes to protect their privacy, data and identity. 5 star to ID.me.

I asked to speak slowly and more clearly. The representative changed the way to speak to me. Connecting video conference from overseas, it was an experience that exceeded my expectation.

I feel I'd be very helpful if you had a person to help walk you through the process id me specifically choosing the correct best Security protection for an individual the process of how to take pictures so that taken through the process of ease and someone there to help you complete it in a timely basis also, like having an assigned person to work with you again and again and again, so you communicate with one person and not different agents over and over and over again

Awful Experience
February 2, 2026

ID.me is a private corporation that is handling secure data to verify your identity with government agencies. This is a horrible sham. The government should NOT outsource this kind of data processing to a for profit company. And besides, the entire process is a sham. It doesn't really work, the staff is harried, and does whatever is necessary to attempt to get the client verified. Even with their help, the process is atrocious. Private corporations SHOULD NOT be involved in governmental affairs (like filing taxes for example, or verification of identity. These are legitimate governmental functions which for profit companies should be prohibited from.

Government Fraud -waste and abuse
February 2, 2026

Unbelievable the many days and hours spent on trying to set up an account. Finally, I made an appointment at the Minneapolis VA. They have 2 very qualified ladies, and it took them over 2 hours to get it done. If the Government wants all these programs, why is it so hard to sign up? ALSO why is it that you state one can go to any post office and get the help you need. This is a FALSE statement and you know it.

Mostly great!
February 2, 2026

All great except it is seemingly impossible to reach a real person for help in filling out the application. I tried all of the phone numbers and they all had an automated voice.
