A Horrendous Experience!
December 29, 2025

It took me two times and two agents the second time and almost an entire afternoon on the phone to get verified to be able to log on to va.gov. I gave up the first time after an unsuccessful try. The worst experience I've ever had doing something like this. Tommy

It's supposed to be a way to access Social Security, but many people who get Social Security will never be able to log in with it. I managed to painfully make my way through the process, taking literally three hours, but when I finally got my identity verified, I still couldn't log in. I got "Unexpected system error" over and over. I still haven't gotten through. It is a useless Sisyphustian act.

ID.me keep personal info safety
December 28, 2025

To prevent abuse of power and protect legitimate rights and interests.
The laws and regulations implement enacted in the past were too lax, leading some people to disregard American laws and regulations. This has resulted in the U.S. having to use national debt to supple, emt government spending.

ID.me it's so easy.
December 28, 2025

The first site was difficult to manage because it wouldn't accept my phone number, that's why I had to use ID.me. This process turned out to be so much easier.

13adass!
December 28, 2025

I've used ID.me for identity verification with government services. On the positive side, I appreciate that it provides strong security and a single login across multiple agencies β€” it feels like a necessary step for protecting sensitive information. The video chat option with agents gave me confidence that the process was legitimate.

That said, my personal experience hasn't been smooth. The verification steps were confusing, and I ran into repeated account lockouts that took far too long to resolve. Customer support was difficult to reach, and when I did get responses, they often felt automated rather than helpful. For someone who values operational clarity, the lack of straightforward guidance was frustrating.

Overall, ID.me does deliver on its promise of secure verification, but the user experience needs serious improvement. If you're tech-savvy and patient, you'll probably manage fine. If you expect quick support or simple navigation, be prepared for challenges.

Verify my identity
December 27, 2025

Id.me has been successful when requesting documents to verify my identity.
The documentation requested was a process to help provide my identity physically with live camera snaps, video selfie, and video talk with live agent.
Id.me is the safest identity program when government documents are requested.

The use of ID me
December 27, 2025

I was able to set up my ID me account very easily and I am basically technically challenged. I am the generation x and so I'm not that savvy on too much technology but was able to access that my account and use it easily upload and take selfie pictures and I felt very safe using it. I would definitely recommend using it.

Skeptical feelings
December 27, 2025

This whole process was time consuming and very frustrating. What do the elderly do that have no IPhones or computer skills? Considering all the hacking of accounts going on, is it really any more secure and for how long?

Don't waste your time doing the whole ID.me process. It's not worth it after you've spent time sharing your personal data to verify your identity. The government agencies (SSN) or private companies (CVS) do not recognize ID.me

It is very glitchy. Survey only works for positive reviews so you are not getting accurate feedback. The live Rep saved me from a nervous breakdown. Shame on you guys
