It was a real hassle to get my refund in order hopefully all this work will be over soon because I am working hard to get my money back and I am not able to because of the identity issue
For Veterans, I chose this Service that was "As advertised." I choose to have my new ID.me credentials verified with my past history of banking & resident information. After a few quick text messages, the process was off and running. To say this took 5 min's, this was closer to 3 - 4 min's of my time. Now I can easily get to all the great e-Benifits offered on-line & apply instantly. Thank you. Steve M
Smartphone video selfie failed. Eventually succeeded with webcam. I am somewhat uncomfortable with providing all this biometric data. I would not recommend ID.me to others who don't absolutely need to use it.
I think it not easy for very old people. And don't know about computer.
You don't wanna know what I had to go through. Someone stole my ID and my unemployment.
Resolvió mis dudas estaba preocupada por si podría tener la oportunidad en mi idioma
She broke it down and made it easy for me to understand
The few multiple choice questions asked were pertinent. Social security numbers were blacked out, making it very safe to use. It took a total of about two minutes to apply, and acceptance came back within a few minutes. Would have no qualms about using.
Super easy to use! It took less than 6 minutes to complete and I was done in a jiffy.
I had no idea my account wad even being handled, so if it was, I had no idea

I liked the video and driver's license ideas to verify identity and that the 2 had to match. I did worry about whether or not this was a legitimate company connected with the IRS until I was finally able to see my tax transcripts from 2020.

Once the video starts try not to laugh, because the video can't recognize you and you'll have to do a video chat with an agent
