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. However, significant concerns were raised regarding the complexity of the verification process, which some customers found frustrating and time-consuming, particularly older users or those with unique identification issues. 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.

ID.me is nothing but trouble.
November 25, 2023

It doesn't work. It's nothing but trouble. I can't renew my PTIN. I can't access e-services.
Who needs more problems. I want to get rid of this garbage program.Barry

Efficient, secure, privacy protecting
November 18, 2023

I used my NY Drivers License for enrolling in ID.me for IRS.gov. Started on my PC, then provided my mobile number and received the link on my mobile as SMS, followed the prompts, provided the snapshots requested for my drivers license (had to take them twice), then enabled the camera for a selfie against a white background (no glasses, that was tricky for me, couldn't see the instructions),, waited a few seconds for approval, went back to my PC to confirm information presented to me, and completed the whole process, from beginning to end, in about 5 min.

Getting to file my Taxes
November 18, 2023

As a 87 year man (Veteran) it was nervous at first. The Ladies were great.
Was not sure what type of program I needed. They explained it to me and they were great helping me get it installed. Thanks a million for the Ladies that helped me.

1 minute process that turn into 4hrs.
November 18, 2023

I am giving a higher rating because of the very last agent who was so passionate about helping me. The rest of the agents that came before him were cutting me off without any explanation.

The process is too long
November 25, 2023

The process is too long to approve but if you do quickly to approve that will be the best service for us. We have to wait in the line and it was took long time.

Amazingly easy-to-use ID website
November 18, 2023

IRS required an online verification of my tax return and my identity in order to send me a refund from 2022 returns. I was prepared for an hour of technology torture. But no, I was really surprised. For identity verification, the ID.me website was simple, clear, quick, and appeared really secure. It was seamlessly integrated with the IRS website I started on. Every complex financial or security process should be so simple and effective. Bravo.

My phone is a cheapie. I don't take many pictures. 12 per year. I am old and my hands are shaky. I tried 6 times with my phone. Blurry pictures. Scanning does not work since the picture must be taken with a phone. On my 7th try I used my husband's Samsung S9. Put your own cellphone # in wherever it asks but before you take the picture put in the cellphone # of the better phone and take the picture. Make sure to erase the better cellphone # and put in your own cellphone after you have uploaded the pix but before you leave the screen by pushing the next button. I was using an 8.1 computer with a webcam. You can feel the webcam at the center of the top edge of your open laptop if you have never used it before. Somewhere along the line I switched from self-service to video chat with agent. If my camera only produced blurry pix of the id I didn't think I would have any luck with a selfie. What's 15 min when I had already spent 3 hrs printing IRS info. Be sure to read how to register for an IRS online account and how to verify with a Video chat agent.
After I uploaded and tapped join a video chat it took less than 5 mins. Good luck and remember persistence pays.

What's it for?
November 25, 2023

It was easy enough I'd and me needs to explain why do you need it, is it a one time verification? Do the a company websites use it? An explanation is necessary because your signing on to mutual sites at the same time.
