Rome was not built in a day!
January 27, 2026

The process is lengthy. It is cumbersome, can be a bit confusing. The selfie was ridiculous and I never was successful. Had to go back a few times then data was lost. However once you get through it it is worthwhile to have this available.

Could not access what I needed
January 27, 2026

Seemingly very secure as I had to provide so much documentation, but after creating the account and submitting multiple images, I couldn't find the info I wanted. Very frustrating, as I have been locked out of my login.gov account because they no longer recognize the phone number I have had for 20 years.

IF YOU ARE VERIFYING YOUR IDENTITY WITHOUT A DRIVER'S LICENSE I'D HEAVILY SUGGEST GOING ELSEWHERE. The process of using ID.me with other forms of verification was an absolute struggle. Despite multiple attempts with two different forms of identification (state ID, Passport) led to an error screen no matter how clear and accurate the photos were to the website's requirements. Upon reaching the error page, the website asks for you to join a video call and provide a drivers license despite being marketed as the verification option for those without a driver's license on my college's website. After proceeding, the wait time on the video call was obscene and flippant, starting at 20 minutes and having its timer reset after 12 minutes elapsed. Overall wait time 33 minutes. The only positive I can say about the website regards its employees, for once the video call began service was swift and helpful.

It took almost 2 years to finally get the program to accept my credentials. Then it will not accept my login credentials when I try to access My.VA.gov. During those 2 years it has received my information at least 6-10 times and doesn't seem to be able to store that information and I have no idea where that informatio has gone to. Possibility sold to some data base for business or scammers.

ID.me review.
January 27, 2026

My idme experience went smoothly altho.ugh it is very time consuming other than that it wasn't to hard to register an account with them.The only problem I had was the wait for an agent to get on line for verification purposes.

Secure and easy to use
January 27, 2026

Living overseas can make accessing certain information very challenging. But ID.me was very easy and helpful to use. Even the video call for ID verification was very efficient and the lawyer helpful.

Not worth a star
January 27, 2026

I spent an hour trying to get an IP pin and here I am the next day still without one. After doing everything I got a screen saying something went wrong and even now, when I try to log in that screen comes up and I'm not allowed to access the site. It only got a star because it wouldn't allow my feedback without at least one, I prefer it not have the one star.

Use a live agent
January 26, 2026

I spent a lot of time online trying to set up an account. I kept hitting roadblocks & was getting frustrated.
The live agent is the way to go! Very little wait time and the agent was patient & walked me threw each step, until I was set up.
