ID.me Reviews Summary

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.

No support
July 26, 2025

It's either an ai chatbot or submit a ticket and all you are met with is general emails and statements of where to reference, no real help

I was surprised.
July 25, 2025

I didn't realize that ID. Me could verify that I attended and graduated from The Ohio State University. Pretty cool.

I had a little difficulty in the beginning setting up my account but I was able to use the video option to complete the sign-up. It was great.

Cumbersome and Choppy process
July 25, 2025

Offered to alternatives at some point in the new account process. One to upload docs and 2 to do a video call. Opted for uploaded docs. Did so, then it asked for id code, entered it, then it failed and locked. So, back to video call. Desktop could see agent and had audio but no video. Had to stop and download zoom to phone and start all over again via phone. The process is very thorough but has some issues that one must be ready to spend 30+ minutes to get through

Not reliable
July 25, 2025

Felt cheated that I gave away pertinent information and I didn't get a discount. There was no option to fix the issue. After signing up for it, I got phishing/scam emails

Never experience anything like this before. The way it asks you to navigate and add in your information.

The weeds of the American dream
July 25, 2025

Maybe that's why a check was going out to somebody that was 150 years old and if nocitizens have benefited before American citizens.-" people "and this company are the weeds that need to be pulled out of the American dream. Any company that makes me talk to AI before talking to a live representative should be reevaluated for conducting business in the United states that's why you guys need federal oversight.

Security streamlined to efficiancy.
July 25, 2025

From the first moment, the instructions are concise and clear. The process proceeds efficiently with ease, providing it's user with the peace of mind knowing their identity is easily secured. Especially considering the tumultuous times we all live in, with the constant letter in the mail that crucial personal data was comprised on one or more of your children. ID.me should be the new modern standard for identity safety.

Run Don't Walk Away
July 25, 2025

This was a horrible experience. I was unable to enter the codes provided on 3 or 4 attempts. Once I finally got signed up, I could not access the website.

The new ID me
July 25, 2025

Had to use Id me today and it seemed like a new and much improved company simple and to the point. As Americans it shouldn't need to feel like we're being treated as if we're attempting to steal someone's identity every time we need to tend to our own affairs. Of course security and identity are extremely important however it's reached the point in recent years of being a full time job..

Establishing an account
July 25, 2025

As a Blind Veteran it's hard to navigate all the steps and not lose you place or patience/program did not rush you in the steps but it's still a challenge. Would be nice if it could be done verbally

Difficulty at every step
July 25, 2025

Smart phone not compatible but only alerted to this fact 3/4 of the way thru the process and not given a reason why or told what is compatible so no way to resolve easily. Tried another person's phone which was compatible but still had trouble with no option to load media already stored in the phone. Then had an issue with information they prefilled being wrong but no option to change it so the system made me start over. Basically a 5 minute sign in (which is already long) took over an hour because of multiple issues.

A frustrating experience
July 25, 2025

Long, confusing, cumbersome and at one point just not worth it. I just continued on, not because of the discount but it became a personal thing. My wife had already said to forget about the discount, aggravation was not worth it.
