While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

Its somewhat easy once you get past the original steps of signing up. If someone has difficulty with technology then they would have difficulty with this.

Good security; new process

I was trying to get info re tax refund. The steps for signing on thru ID.me were clear though the tasks were new to me - like the selfie. I appreciate the security but at one point feared that I might have entered a phishing site. But it all worked! And the IRS site had my info!

Complicated and invasive

Complicated. Invasión of privacy and personal space. REQUIRES ALL YOUR PERSONAL INFO - you know, the stuff the hackers want.
REQUIRES a smart phone.

And after all that? Still couldn’t get in to the site i was trying to get in to.

BTW, I already had an ID.me account. Why am i being put third this crap?

And now i have to SIGN IN AGAIN just to leave s review. WTF?

The person I was on the call with was…a African American man either glasses light skin didn’t really say his name.

The person I was on the call with was very rude and very unprofessional. He saw I was having trouble yet never helped me out fully with the camera situation. He was shaking his head acting all frustrated as I was having trouble. The employee needs to go through training. He was a black man kind of light skin with glasses. Do better and the process was just horrible all in all. Train your employees better because their people skills are terrible and that’s their whole job. DO BETTER. Yall look like you scam folks too.

Biometrics compromised and will be abused

Hate that you must give up your biometrics now in order to get in. I did reluctantly just so I could turn off everything and go back to printed copies mailed to me. The government now has our biometrics (facial recognition) in their files. I don't trust them for this! Get ready for the mark of the beast and controlling every aspect of our lives. Agenda 2030 is coming fast. We will own nothing and be happy. Go back to paper copies.

Terrible experience

Terrible experience. My documents were rejected with no explanation. My phone number was even rejected and I needed access to a secondary phone to complete the process.

ID.me is a total waste of cyberspace

ID.me is a total waste of cyberspace. I've attempted to upload, front and back, of my drivers license numerous times at different times and dates. To no avail!.

PLEASE, someone bulldoze this site down and rebuild a site that can really be used effectively and efficiently!
