Poor Customer Service
January 13, 2025

Endless virtual bots. Email only customer service. Slow response time to get assistance. If you can't eloquently define your problem you will not get resolution you will endlessly be stuck in a create a new ticket and start all over again.

It took me about 5 hours and 4 days to resolve an erroneous error message I got during the verification process.

These are really good deals! We are a family of military, police officers and school teachers. This is very much appreciated with things being so expensive now.

Inconvenient
January 13, 2025

Not happy with the new process with video or selfie. The audio didn't work, the call hung up on us, but the agent called back. Be prepared to have yourself together if it matters to you, clothes, hair combed, etc., no longer doing business in the comfort of your home with your pjs on. The process is intrusive.

This service is a forced-use service to access the IRS. You have no choice but to use it. However, the government and its contractors have a long history of abusing the data provided to them, not taking appropriate steps to secure the data, and you have no recourse when they do both.

First, looks like difficult. But, it was smooth.
Needs time to make few documents that English version. Because, I am a foreigner.

Experience signing up with ID.Me
January 13, 2025

I am not experienced taking "selfies" but I was easily able to sign up with ID.Me using a cell phone and its camera. The instructions were detailed and easy to follow.

The one drawback was at the end I got an error code 8099 with no explanation. I still don't know what it means or if I need to do anything. But everything seems to be working.

I have been trying for months to order a new copy of my social security card, I had lost it along with my driver's license and my birth certificate making it almost impossible to replace any one of those three documents. Luckily I was able to find a copy of my driver's license and using the ID.me verification process, I easily verified my identity and was able to order another social security card. I was honestly losing hope but with this verification method becoming available (like a gift from the heavens!) I'm now that much closer to becoming a successful member of society. Again. Thank you ID.me

Face recognition required a few attempts to work. Once setup it works well. No concern about security
