Identity verification
April 23, 2025

Easy to work with full confidence. In the past I could reach IRS, Social Security and other official sites directly. There was always a concern whether a genuine site was reached. With ID. Me this concern is resolved.

ID me? Or not…
April 23, 2025

Already had an ID Me acct. Tried to use it to sign in to view my SSA notice mentioned in an official email (I had done so successfully in the past). After entering username & info, I was informed further information was required to confirm my identity. Ok; kind of like signing up for direct deposit; front & back of drivers license then a biometric video face scan(?). After this, I got an "unsuccessful" reply with options (seek help, redo). I just went back, tried again using username/pw combo; got right in. Checked the statement. New this time was a multi paragraph list of conditions and cautions including one paragraph saying no responsibility for any use of my personal information whether for official purposes or any other reason. I probably should have stopped when I read that but I didn't.
I'm pretty used to online sign-in routines. This one was pretty bad. I feel sorry for folks who are less computer savvy having to navigate this system. Do better.

Sucks. Works like was never Beta tested.
April 23, 2025

Since they don't specify which smart devices work with verification system, uploading did NOT work at first. No instructions or useful alerts or error messages are ever given, you're simply looking at a blank screen wondering what the problem is.

Crashed - or poor design
April 23, 2025

Of course data security is a concern but we are stuck with risks to work w government agencies. The ID. Me account setup worked ok until the selfie. Then it seemed to crash and I didn't get any confirmation or error message. Not a good way for the process to end

Account worksheet
April 23, 2025

Not sure what kind of answer your looking for in reference to my experience...
I wasn't aware of all of this was done without my knowledge which brings me to my identity being compramised an brought to my attention in the year 2007 when I started work with corporate n since have been trying to get things in order with interference every step due to a system that now is brought out in public but there is more to this/these accounts that does not need to be public knowledge nor family it is all personal...

My experience with id
April 23, 2025

My experience was stressful at first. But once everything was solved, everything was ok. That wait time for the video chat was a little long but worth the wait.
