Great site
November 28, 2025

Too many sites are asking for reviews, just make a good product and stop asking my for reviews. We use sites like ID.me for a faster experience, then you waste even more of my time wanting a raving review and picnics and rainbows and bright glowing music of hallelujah. SMH, hit yourself with your purse.

SIMPLE COMMENTS
November 28, 2025

I have no idea what Id.me is. I just know that I had to obtain a username and password when I obtained a VA card. Suddenly, Social Security is using it. I presume it some sort of government program to standardize sign in procedures.

ID.me process
November 28, 2025

As far as the creating an account goes, it was fairly easy, yes there are some steps involved just like other places that want to verify your ID, the good thing is that this can save you from that process with those other places, potentially once they get on board; if they keep the ID verification system out of our bodies I'm okay with it, our last line of defense if you will against so much invasion of privacy, and I know it sounds somewhat counter-intuitive, but these these are the times we're in.

Troubleshoot through chat worked well
November 28, 2025

I had a duplicate account that prevented me from getting verified. The main problem was that the primary account was linked to a closed account I could not access. Although it took a while to connect to an agent via chat, once I was online with the individual, the issue was resolved quickly.

ID.me was a life saver
November 28, 2025

I couldn't remember my password for the govt social security website. I had to request something from them by mail but never followed up so i just didnt have access to my retirement info and tax history for a couple of YEARS!

Until ID.me! i was able to sign-in and see there are mistakes in my file and know what to expect when i retire, both very important.

Very satisfied.
November 28, 2025

There was a problem with my ID. I was very worried. They were very calm, supportive and friendly and knew what to do to thoroughly go through things with me and get everything covered and corrected. I'm very please to know my ID is s not being used by anyone else.
I am extremely satisfied with this service.

No choice!
November 28, 2025

Had the worst time with ID.me and there wasn't any support to get over the problem. The AI chat kept circling around to the same responses even when I rephrased the issue. Most frustrating site I have encountered in a while

It was easy and convenient to use. I trust that it is secure because the Social Security Administration has checked it out and uses it for identification of individuals.

I waited until I needed to use this process. Don't do that. It takes longer than you think, so get to it as soon as you know you'll need to get it done.

Identification

I tried to take photos with my phone and they were rejected 2 times. Just go straight to video chat and save yourself the hassle.

This is legit and fast
November 28, 2025

I needed to verify my social security card and drivers license. It's some high tech tech they got. You do speak to a real person. Get your parents up to speed so they can login into their social security accounts. Help your family.

A few glitches in confirming the correct Identification data. Once confirmed the service was secure and efficient. Only delay was waiting for an available agent on the video call. They were very efficient once accessed.

My experience with ID.me was excellent. The verification process was quick, easy to understand, and very secure. I liked how clear the instructions were, and everything worked smoothly from start to finish. It really helped me complete the steps I needed without stress. Highly recommended.

ID ME IS A MUST HAVE!
November 27, 2025

In order for me as a disabled veteran to connect with my Provider and with all the different clinics I use, ID ME is a 'must have.
ID ME insures that my communications are not going to be read by anyone that I did not intend to receive it.
Have a hack free system provided by the VA is extremely important to this disabled veteran.

I was forced to go through them to get my new Social Security account online since they changed systems and this took hours of time and energy and repeating the process 10 times and nothing working -changed device, downloaded new browsers, changed cameras and finally having to call customer service and do a live video ID after I had already logged in and verified everything countless times and uploaded the same documents over and over. Completely ridiculous and totally avoid them unless you have to use it. Instructions are also confusing. I'm a tech savvy senior but most are not and this is totally inappropriate to use with the Social Security Administration website.
