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.

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.

We were given a program for first responders and in order to participate, you have to include your social security number. This is a huge negative since SSN is a target for scammers. ID.me stated we could use our drivers license however, there is field to enter the DL anywhere. When we send a support question (ticket) they refer you back to the original form AND it creates a new ticket! For this one issue, we have 12 tickets!

Obviously, this is not a great site and management does not care to look at the issues they are having. So stay away.

I ran across this service on the California DMV website. There was very little information about what it was but they made it look very official like it was required DMV business. It's nothing more than a marketing company trying to sell you something. Somehow they negotiated a spot on the DMV website to place their ad, because that's all it is. Sneaky and deceitful. I will not do business with someone who has to slink around in the bushes to attract customers. Don't fall for this scam.

They work with many major hotels to offer a student discount so people take the time and frustration to submit paperwork. I submitted my social security #, student records, official emails from the school, screenshots of my current classes showing my full name and address, etc. This took 4 FOUR hours and did not work, they did not accept it. Super frustrating and no real person to connect with. I HATE this company!

This is a junkpile site, and it's just a waste of time. I wasted a lot of time trying to verify my identity even though I had everything I needed (passport photos, cell phone, ss no., etc.).

Told them to delete my account and if things start to happen because of the info I gave them I will not hesitate to take legal action.

A new veterans' site called Vets.gov (https://www.vets.gov/) claims to be affiliated with the U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs. In order to set up an account and sign in to the Vets.gov website, the user must set up an account with Id.Me (https://www.id.me/) and provide a lot of personal information including a driver's license or U.S. Passport number. I have seen quite a few negative reviews of Id.Me online as a "scam" and a "ripoff."
