Frustrating
January 29, 2026

The process to enroll in ID.me is frustrating. There is a limited amount of explanation regarding the purpose of the required steps. Give yourself plenty of time to complete the enrollment.

Very easy and fast
January 29, 2026

I tried to use the government verification process and it would not allow me to cause they told me my phone number did not match my name even though that's how they have been contacting me for a year and a half so I tried Id.me and it was fast and easy

Awful experience
January 29, 2026

I needed to update my account as my ID had expired. This led to an hours long process involving the live chat that requires your attention and finally spoke to someone after an hour wait. This was followed by hours of emails back and forth as well as attempts to simply upload images of my work identification card.

Terrible experience
January 28, 2026

One of the most difficult to use, counterintuitive and non user friendly sites I have ever used. Difficult to navigate, no help menu, slow, site froze multiple times, trouble uploading documents, creating password and user ID. The whole process took almost 2 hours. I would not recommend this site at all.

Makes no sense.
January 28, 2026

Why do I have to use a third party to provide a state ID to a state office? This is bureaucratic ignorance and inefficiency at it's best.

How to verify your id.me account
January 28, 2026

It took me a few good times before I correctly uploaded the forms of documents that id.me requires. It's quite specific regarding what is acceptable and those documents that need verifying must meet all of the requirements to be accepted by id.me for the verification process.

Providing documentation
January 28, 2026

Most of the acceptable documents were right next to my ID in my wallet, I don't keep my birth certificate on me. I just had to upload the front and back, and it was easy.

Id.me is Lacking!
January 28, 2026

No assurances offered up even though they require sensitive documentation. ID's, passports etc. Then there is zero language letting the user know if what is being shared will be encrypted! I felt uneasy, I have no faith in id.me's service. It lacks clarity step by step. What is listed is too cryptic. Words are there but they don't really fully add relevant information. After all that, the website I was trying to access, had their own verification tools and I had to jump through hoops! Id.me
Just
Says go back to the login page. Which took me
A minute to get back to, because the back buttons didn't get right back there.

A lot easier than I expected
January 27, 2026

I was able to verify my identity by uploading my drivers license. Then I did a video selfie as requested so my live features could be matched to verify my identity. Fast and easy to do. I expected it to be much more complicated. So I was very happy with the process.

A bit irritating
January 27, 2026

My video call went very well with the agent named Maureen. She was courteous and helpfUL. My problem with this site is asking for updated passwords too many times. Very annoying... I wish I had option of video call assistance earlier in the process. Other.thsn those issues, all was fine

Easy and secure
January 27, 2026

It keeps your password secure so you can use the same password for different accounts without bad actors easily busting one account after another when you use the same password on your own.
