Doesn't work for old people
December 14, 2025

85 and not a computer expert
Took me several attempts to finally get all the data needed. I think the process could be made simpler.

Long wait time to get verified.
December 14, 2025

Long wait time to get verified. Clunky operation at times. Got an error message after it said that I was verified. Had to relog in to get the site I wanted.

ID.me helped me
December 14, 2025

The process was rather quick. I took pictures of the front & back of government issued Driver's license then it took a video selfie to verify that the person uploading the documents was the person whom they belonged.

Must be an expert computer head
December 14, 2025

They now make you upload your id and selfie plus a bunch more steps to sign in. If you work on a computer for a living it will still take about 10 minutes. And the instructions suck. I can understand with all the internet crime so why not use mail or phone again or figure something else out!

I am trying to create my ID.me account to use IRS services. The system is telling me I already have an account under the some redacted email account. That is not my email address, and I have never created an account with ID.me before. They don't fix the problem, they let the fraud continue and just close all my requests.

Both my wife & I have had ID.me accounts for years and when I tried signing on with my information it gave me my wife's page, but when I tried signing on with my wife's information it said it didn't recognize me, and I couldn't change anything. I had to open new pages for us both in order to facilitate my needs.

Creating my ID.me
December 14, 2025

For individuals who are already familiar with the process and are comfortable utilizing the technology, I find this format to be excellent and highly efficient.

However, for users who are new to the process or who feel they lack the necessary technical knowledge, it is crucial that they have the option to contact a certified agent.

This communication channel must allow the agent to guide them step-by-step through the form completion, thereby ensuring accessibility for all users.

Thank you for your attention.

Overly complex for no reason
December 14, 2025

The process makes you jump through hoops that are obviously designed to be difficult and frustrating. The company has already had privacy and accuracy issues in the past, so there is very little assurance that your information is secure. A complete waste of time that is a waste of tax money.

Simple, easy steps
December 14, 2025

It was no trouble at all to set to up my ID.me account. The steps were simple and straightforward. Once everything was set up, it directed me straight to the SSA's website. I highly recommend this site.

Worked first time
December 14, 2025

I kept running into snags on a different service (having to reload documents several times, not getting a confirmation code, etc.). ID.me worked the first time I tried it.

December 14, 2025

I tryed to get in to the website by using the gov. Site After 2 hrs. Of trying to get in and a phone call that was NO help I decided to try your site. I found out very quickly I should have used this site! I am not a web site person (and don't want to be). Thank you for being uncomplicated!

Too much information gathered
December 14, 2025

By the time you get through the signup you've lost where you were and why you were doing this to start with. ID.me appears to me, in my opinion only, to be a personal information gatherer disguised as a security provider.
