ID.me simplifies how individuals prove and share their identity online. The ID.me secure digital identity network has over 98 million members, as well as partnerships with 30 states, 10 federal agencies, and over 500 name-brand retailers. The company provides identity proofing, authentication and community verification for organizations across sectors. The company's technology meets the federal standards for consumer authentication and is approved as a NIST 800-63-3 IAL2 / AAL2 conformant credential service provider by the Kantara Initiative. ID.me's Identity Gateway also has a Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Moderate Authority to Operate (ATO). ID.me is the only provider with video chat and is committed to "No Identity Left Behind" to enable all people to have a secure digital identity.
The company has garnered a mixed reputation, with notable strengths in its identity verification service, which many users found secure and efficient, particularly praising the helpfulness of customer service during video calls. However, significant concerns were raised regarding the complexity of the verification process, which some customers found frustrating and time-consuming, particularly older users or those with unique identification issues. Additionally, delays and technical difficulties, including issues with document acceptance and login credentials, have led to dissatisfaction among several users. Overall, while the service is valued for its security, improvements in user experience and support are essential.

I have been trying to get though to a trusted referee for 3 weeks - the queue is not first come first serve, they kick you out or leave you waiting for HOURS. I have uploaded my documents dozens of times. This is a scam. The system is completely flawed, they should be flagged for fraud. Customer service is a waste of time. The entire ID.me system is train wreck. Figures the government uses this for identity verification.
Is there any zero review star to use? I was forced to give one for a company really not worth reviewing.

I uploaded personal documents to comply with the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance Portal in order to file my weekly claim. The first day I sat for 5 hours waiting for an "ID.me Trusted Referee." The following day I waited in the (5 hour) queue twice. Every time I was directed to reload the documents. I'm furious! Now they have a copies of my personal information.

I have spent 8 hours on average a day to be reached by a ID.me referee! They have a copy of my social, drivers license, front and back, a bill that I had to scan and send for proof! They say they can't recognize you, to accept a contact call via FaceTime from a ID.me person so to actually verify you. After waiting for 8 to 9 hours on the phone, they send you a message saying there was a problem with your bill proof! The whole point of being contacted is to get verified. If I lose my unemployment because of their useless system, I will file a lawsuit!

THIS PLACE IS COMPILING A MASSIVE VERIFIED MAILING LIST. I urge all people wgo through this process to use an email they have used for nothing else. Also remember there is no law requiring you to give your ID SSN etc to any private business. I'm on day 17 and I did exactly what they asked.

I have tried countless times to verify my ID using this website and their automated system won't let me. The customer service department is near impossible to reach so now I can not get access to the benefits I really need.

I gave this company a really bad review a few days ago that i must retract. Once you are able to make contact with a person at the company everything goes very smooth. The people there a very nice and know what they are doing. The "trusted referee" operators or the system suck. Maybe they both are inept. But if you email
*******@id.me or *******@id.me you will get the help you need quickly. Be sure and include a phone number for them to contact you

Was required to register@ id.me for my unemployment. The site said it was basically super easy. After 2 days and countless hours of getting nowhere, I ended up so frustrated I sent nasty emails and tried deleting everything I'd submitted. Of course, it takes them 1 full week to delete my account, so my unemployment's going to be at least 1 week late. This whole website and company sucks!

I am very disappointed with the customer service. I have been having issues for 2 weeks getting ahold of an agent to approve my information and in those two weeks, I have received one email back regardless of my daily efforts to receive updates and get the credentials I need to assist veterans with home loans! I asked since I have been waiting 2-3 hour increments, unsuccessfully, if I could schedule a facetime (the facetime with an agent is required by them) and that request has gone completely unacknowledged. I don't even believe my requests to support have actually been read! I think I am getting blanket statements that don't really match the requests I have made. I just want to get the credentials to do my job and I am at a loss.

I tried purchasing products on Samsung's official website and was able to verify my information on my ID.me account. I have also verified my education email address, however when I try to add the discount on Samsung's page, I get a message indicating that ID.me cannot verify my education email address despite it being verified already under my account profile on ID.me's site.

Flawed algorithms which use ownership of a cell phone as the basis of rejecting my ID after I had uploaded my PA DL, US Passport and multiple selfies is ludicrous. That's right, my cell phone is one of several on my wife's account, my name is not on the account, therefore I don't exist. "Cogito, ergo sum", is an alien concept despite Descartes coining it in 1637. I would have had an easier time voting in the 2020 election had I been a dead illegal foreign national than getting these clowns to verify my ID. Couple this with the "Trusted Referee" video conference which I scheduled 5 times, in one instance being on hold for 7 hours with no conference or referee ever contacting me is beyond contemptable. If you don't have the capacity to produce the product you have been contracted to produce in a timely manner, tell your clients BEFORE they are sucked into your alternate universe, don't make lame excuses about "unusually high demand making wait times longer." In other words, don't pee on me and tell me it's raining. Under promise and overdeliver, not the other way around.

*Support is never around to help
*I was on hold for over 27 hours once
*Lazy coding makes the site experience innumerable bugs, errors, and glitches; All of which waste hours of your time with no way to reverse THEIR errors
*A site that holds such important consumer information shouldn't feel like it was made by a highschooler
*Even when you take a great photo of a document, ID.me's scanner literally never accepts them
*Leave it the the Gov. To put such a shoddy website in charge of ALL UNEMPLOYMENT PROCESSES WTF

My unemployment payments are being held up until I figure out how to get to a form that apparently exists. It is so concerned with getting me to buy stuff through them that I can not figure out how to actually verify my identity THE WHOLE POINT OF THE WEBSITE. I can not believe my taxes pay for the government to use a service so ridiculous.

This is the worst most ridiculous service I have ever used i have spent atleast 14 hours over 3 days trying to verify my identity for pua unemployment. I have a license and a state id a health insurance card I know my credit history info I have my social but apparently thats not good enough, I have sent them atleast 60 different pictures of my id's and they keep telling me they can't verify one of the pictures. I have yet to get someone on the phone and that's because you can't its nonsense they just get you stuck in this loop of submitting the form then they have whatever made up problems on their end and tell you to re submit and you just get stuck in this cycle of filling out their questions and taking pictures of your ids over and over and there customer service is non existence you can't actually talk to a real person not even through email, you tell them your having a problem and they email you back saying sorry for the long wait. Nothing about what your actual problem with their software or program they use or whatever it is they just say re submit then email about your problems sorry for the wait re submit this thing is literally driving me crazy if I could give it negative stars I would and this whole site should be shut down its an embarrassment. Even Comcast has better customer service then this. Think about if your cable went out and you email to say it's not working (since calling is way to convenient so it doesn't exist) then they tell you to plug it in and you tell them it is plugged in but they tell you to email about problems so you email and say my cables not working but its plugged in... so they email back and say sorry for the wait then they tell you to plug your cable in... and your like what are you even talking about we've already been through this. I litterally feel like someone is on the other end just dying laughing like there just playing with me

Tried signing into my Social Security account and could not access it until I verified my identity. Uploaded two forms of ID, Federal government and State drivers license. Also took selfies after submitting each ID. Was asked by their website if I could conduct a video call with one of their "trusted referees" to verify my identity. Waited most of the afternoon and it was crickets. Submitted an inquiry through their website to determine when or if my session would start. Received a ticket number and a statement that I would be contacted soon. Nope.
As a veteran, I lost personally identifiable information in 2015 to Chinese hackers due to incompetence by our federal government. Now we appear to be outsourcing our Cybersecurity efforts to the lowest priced, "technically acceptable" private sector bidder. Wonderful. I'm now concerned that the information I provided will end up on the dark web.
