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.

Get With The Program
April 2, 2023

You might as well get on with setting up your personal ID.me account. You're going to need it for communicating with the IRS and the Social Security Administration. Similar to voluntarily freezing your credit, this is another layer of protection designed to defeat the cyber-criminals constantly working to steal your identity and then your money. When you make it sufficiently difficult for them -- they move on.

I do not have a driver's license just an ID card so could not use driver's license option my address is different and logged with the IRS through identity verification there but you do not give the option to enter a new address therefore blocking me out of the IRS website because the addresses do not match the process was overall difficult and annoying

Quick and easy!
April 2, 2023

The steps to follow were quite simple (have your diver's license ready, be able to take a photo and upload it). Although the light (brightness) sensitivity of the software is a bit picky, it's nothing that can't be worked through. The software itself was super-quick (uploading the photos, waiting for the system to confirm and move to the next step, waiting for a 2-factor identification text message) and I had completed the entire process in very little time at all.

Not Good
May 2, 2023

This seems like a scam. The process asks for critical documents with no human interaction. I have no clue where this information went and if it will be kept secure and not sold to some black market ID thieves.

Password Recovery and Biometrics

I made several attempts on password recovery but failed and created a new one instead.
The biometrics appears to be too having issues in matching my drivers license.
