Extortion.
November 30, 2023

Absolutely disgusting. Having to give my biometric data or submit to a recorded interview in order to set up a payment plan is morally bankrupt. Complete overreach in the name of 'security', of course.

Found it challenging but easy enough to complete. Critical information needs to be difficult to hack and dangerous in the weong hands.

Safe, Easy, Fast, Feel Secure
November 23, 2023

The process upset me at first because I already had an account for the IRS and was forced to change to ID.me. But once I started the process, it was super easy and only took like 5 minutes! It gave me an extra sense of security in this day and age. I am super happy about this new process!

Excellent
November 23, 2023

The processing on this platform is both easy and straightforward. Unlike other platforms, where verifying my identity often becomes a hassle, this system stands out in its simplicity and efficiency. As a veteran who has experienced the complexities of name changes due to divorce, I find the seamless and up-to-date authenticators and performance of this system particularly impressive. Overall, it's an excellent and user-friendly platform.

Great Service
November 23, 2023

Getting ID checks can sometimes be a hassle. ID.me was seamless from start to finish. Made it easy to know what documents to upload, make slight changes, and good information given as to specific requirements necessary to complete the process with the online agent. 10/10

Sucks
November 30, 2023

Spent over 1.5 hrs dealing with going between help on the phone, on hold for a long time then was told had to use ID.me to do what was needed. Spent another 45 minutes plus putting in the information for change of bank accounts, dealing with pain in the $#*! security verifications switching from phone to email and back. Then finally getting the information inputed and saying it was approved to a couple minutes later saying it was rejected. A complete waste of time. Finally, was able to reach the Reno Travel department who said I had to come down and drive the 120 miles round trip to fill out a piece of $#*!ing paper to do it manually. Drove the distance with voided check and the person at window couldn't tell me what numbers were routing and which were account. After 15 minutes of dealing with ignorance, frustration and going to the same window that years ago we just handed in our paperwork and were paid, I spoke to several others in my same situation. We all were just blown away at how incompetent, incoherent, waste of time and money to travel to the place where I had to spend 45 dollars of gas money just so I could get my account changed. You guys are dumb as boots to think your new system is anything but a complete waste of money and time to those of us who you think are able to use it. Bureaucracy at its finest.

After filling out all the information, the system said my name was incorrect. Im pretty sure that I know my name. I also feel that this is a surveillance tool. Very frustrating and no human to help me

After following directions and filling out all the information, the system says my name is incorrect. I'm pretty sure I know my name. Also, doing these stupid picture identifying stairs, etc after clicking I'm not a robot is the dumbest thing ever. Just adds to the frustration.

Great Design Process
November 23, 2023

Even though there were issues with the automated recognition of my ID cards, the many options available to rectify this issue was a pleasant surprise to include a video chat with a live agent to confirm everything. The design of the whole process was impressive and extremely satisfying!
