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. 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.

Easy to follow Instructions
November 3, 2025

ID.ME was very easy to set up. EASY instructions, quick to complete. Only iffy moment was when taking the 'selfie' you have to remove your glasses and may not be able to read the instructions (during the time your glasses are off).

From start to finish my verification process felt safe and secure - to make sure, I was absolutely who I said I was, and that my verified account was provided to the company requesting it. Beyond thankful for the Member Support/ Email & Chat options as well. Thank you!

ID me experience
November 3, 2025

So far it has been good though it does not seem to match up perfectly with your resume and you may spend approx about an hour correcting your resume getting mixed in format. It has been a great resource of locating work in my search field and hopefully it will pay off.

Filing assistance
November 3, 2025

It was so easy today where I accessed 5 different government agencies. DFAS to establish account now that I lost my job and don't have a CAC. VA to pull down disability letters. VA unemployment to file for benefits. Social security SSD for benefits. Lastly, Fairfax County Tax Relief. All went smooth and everything was secure. Appreciate that my information is protected and IDme makes it simple. Thank you

I found the procedure very complicated and difficult perhaps because I am nearly 90 years old and not that computer illiterate. However, the person who helped me through it actually responded in a fairly short time about five or 10 minutes and stuck with me the whole way until the job was done.

Good experience, take your time, organize documents ahead of time. Could have had clear instructions upfront to advise on interaction with PC and handheld devices which was confusing.

If this is your first time setting it up, the phone number or email address you provide must be used and not changed. If you change your phone number then you better update right away or you might be locked out.

It was a wonderful experience knowing my identity is secure and that they know it's really me trying to log in to any government site. I wish they had done this years ago

Not Difficult
November 2, 2025

It took a little time to complete, but it was understandable because I had not been able to access my Social Security for most of the year. I had called many times, but it was never resolved. ID.me was very thorough with verification, and I was not unhappy with that!

Protecting My Privacy From Fraudsters
November 2, 2025

I am the victim of financial fraud. The perpetrators posed at ATF and FBI Special Agents and ran a very sophisticated scam. I'm now trying to cover every base that I can to ensure they can't get back at me again.ID.me is one tool to help!

Beware of unwannted help
November 2, 2025

The site recognized I was having difficulty as things would not upload. Thus clicking on a "help" pop up from Just Answer, they recruited me by an offer of $5, you click on OK, give your credit card and suddenly there is a $75 subscription sent to your card. All said and done they could not get any further than I had after working on it for over 1-1/2 hours or more.
THE BIGGEST PROBLE M WAS THAT, BECAUSE OF THE SHUTDOWN, I HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW MUCH I OWED, SO COULD ONLY GUESS.
IF THE ONLY WAY THE SET-UP CAN BE COMPLETED IS ON A PHONE, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HELPFUL AND SAVED ME 12+ HOURS OF MY LIFE THAT I CANNOT GET BACK. I'M GLAD THE SERVICE IS THERE AND NOT LEFT TO IRS ITSELF, WITH THE SHUT DOWN, NO MONEY WAS TRANSFERED ANYWAY.

ID.me first time sign-up and use
November 2, 2025

This process was very easy, as long as you're familiar with using a smart phone. However, it is recommended to have pen and paper handy to write down information needed for later use in case of issues with the service
