Good system of identification
December 5, 2025

The experience was good. Uploading documents wasn't as smooth as I would like. It rejected my docs without a reason code first time and then with a reason a second time, but the instructions were unclear. It simply said take a picture of the document, but didn't define parameters. Ince I figured it out, it went smoothly.

Great help
December 5, 2025

A phishing attack gave hackers access to my exchange account, which they drained of $18,000. RetrieveXpro immediately contacted the exchange's security team, providing a timeline of the theft that I couldn't compile. The exchange's insurance policy covered the loss, and my funds were fully restored within two weeks. Their direct line to exchange security teams is a game-changer.

I would recommend ID.me to anyone and everyone who needs to certify their ID! It was so quick, easy, and painless! I was done in just a few minutes! Especially as in the days I spent trying to do the same thing at login.gov and was never successful! Finally after the third day of trying, I remembered that there was a second site (ID.me) that I could try! And thankfully instant success! Thank you so much ID.me! I will be forever grateful!

Unreliable
December 5, 2025

I am forced to use this website to verify my social security and medicare information. It is unreliable. I log in once a year to verify and check my information for accuracy - each time I log in, my old login information is "not recognized" and I am forced to reverify. This last time (and two previous times) even after verifying, setting a new PW and then logging in I received a message that my login in incorrcect and my account is blocked until I call the office (and wait a long time) to speak to a representative.

Time Saver!
December 5, 2025

I log in to a couple different federal government agency accounts using id.me and save a lot of time. The IRS uses it and I use it on my SSA account, too.
I would use it on Texas state agencies, but i haven't seen it come up while logging in.
Saving time is like saving money! I even had time to write this review!

Identity made easy
December 5, 2025

You can enter your personal identity one time. ID.me provides secure transfer of your entity quickly and safely. It saves me so much time not having to enter my Identification when I enter a new website.

Giving a review
December 5, 2025

Terrible, just like the site even giving a review is complex and difficult. Why am even on this site? There was no option to close and send review, it just sends you here.

Convenient to use...
December 5, 2025

I've had no problems getting on the website. Most of the time it's been to get copies of documentation I needed for one reason or another. I usually have not had any problems accessing needed information.

Took a while to het established and recognized. The site is reasonably well set up but it's simply not a short path to get to the end.

Slow Verification Process
December 5, 2025

I had a very difficult experience using ID.me. The verification process was slow and confusing, and I had to repeat several steps multiple times. The system kept asking for additional documents even after I uploaded everything correctly. It was stressful and took much longer than expected to complete my verification.

Horrible Experience - Migraine City
December 5, 2025

This is the most cumbersome, invasive, poorly written "process" I have ever used in my life. Impossible to find and "secret" despite its requirement by the IRS so one can see their IRS account and make tax payments. I wanted to make two (2) sizable tax payments due on November 24 and it took me 2 1/2 hours to wade through this verification BS! Horrible. Pitiful. Pathetic. To think that all U.S. taxpayers are required to go through this BS is unconscionable. I am betting the farm that less than 50% of taxpayers will attempt this and then just mail their checks in due to frustration! And what about Aunt Jean with no smart phone? You can't get through one page without that... WHO is responsible for this? Trump is right, MASSIVE GOVERNMENT firings must be done. Too many people "dead on the vine"...
