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.

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.

Getting Ready to Complete your Taxes
February 26, 2025

I was attempting to do my taxes by myself this year. Even though I am almost 80 and have pretty much always done my taxes, it has become more confusing as the government goes to "on-line" only. I have always saved every receipt or document over the year. My kids have stepped in the last couple of years ( I was widowed 10 years ago.). I knew that doing my taxes was a burden during the same time my kids are getting ready to do theirs. This program was helpful. The directions were very clear.

Gave it a try...not bad at all
February 26, 2025

All in all, not too bad to set up. Just make sure you have the required documentation and your phone at hand. Take your time, do it right first time.

ID.me application
February 26, 2025

The whole process was a pain too say the least. You never knew when you were done. It took way to long and there's no customer support to help you with issues. We needed this to get help renting an apartment and we're still not in because even though we have completed it they have not been notified. Not really to happy about the whole thing.

This website and its external links are best to only be used via computer. Large amounts of ID.me require visiting external links using JavaScript to log you in. This is not only a massive security risk, but they also ask to confirm your entire SSN without the use of character * asterisk protection. Most links will not work to forward the user on mobile devices, even after choosing to display the desktop site. Honestly, I just wanted a copy of my tax returns, but after going through the process of making this new account, I've been left feeling kind of sketched out. It was easier to access the irs portal from their website directly. I will not be using this bloated service again.

The ID.me website
February 26, 2025

It was very easy to do the process of getting the account made. It didn't even take me 15 mins to get it started & done. The lady that I spoke with was very professional & nice the instructions was very clear on what to do. So if you need to us this website I highly recommend it.

Camera Focus
February 26, 2025

The biggest problem was getting a good camera focus on documents. Holding Drivers License against a contrasting background or attaching it to a yellow envelope seemed to help.
