Jumped thru all the hopes including ID verification. Uploaded document. Did the face scan. When finally going to site it kicked me out due to Sales Force issue?

Id experience to create account
December 30, 2025

ID me was manageable but I encountered some problems switching between browsers to upload facial recognition because fields would freeze & I wasn't sure if the information was processed. After several attempts I was able to open my account. Let's hope access continues?

Agents are very helpful and friendly, but the process is INSANE. Nothing seems to work, and you have to do everything multiple times. We are quite familiar with interacting with the IRS on-line and virtually, but this process was the most confusing and frustrating experiencees I have ever had.

HORRIBLE!
December 30, 2025

The program is horrible to use and is not intuitive in any way. The instructions are unclear. Be prepared to spend some serious time on this endeavor and be prepared to gouge out your own eyeballs and replace your computer and cell phone after you throw them across the room.

Worked great!
December 30, 2025

Tried repeatedly to get on to SSI account and was locked out and no way to contact SSI and talk to a person so tried ID.me and got right in. Thanks. Should have known private industry could get the job done.

Don't give confidential information to anyone. If a government agency wants it, tell them to use your information they already hold.

IRS account
December 29, 2025

My first experience was scanning a QR code that either sent me an invalid code or didn't send me a code. When I switched to personal ID it said I could use my passport but after getting it out of the safe it required a Drivers License.

PIss Poor service
December 29, 2025

Signing on is an absurd waste of time. You save no money by using AI or online machines to vet people trying to sign in. And when you DO hire a human being, insure they have a $#*!ing brain! TRAIN THEM!

It makes life easier
December 29, 2025

Once you have your account set up, you don't have to worry about a bunch of security questions.Passwords that you may or may not remember.
The process was quick and easy.And I was able to get into my account right away.

Setting up ID
December 29, 2025

I had to constantly repeat steps to get my account set up.
I had no way to ask or look for answers to questions that I encountered.
It was frustrating, but I finally was able to accomplish it.
I still have questions though.

Better Security
December 29, 2025

When signing up with ID me I had a video call with a representative to verify my identity. This is a thing scammers would not want to do. It makes me feel safer that I have gone through this vetting process.

It was fast easy and very convinced for me because I don't have no transportation to get to the social service office to get anything done so this made it very easy for me

The milk line.
December 29, 2025

At first glance the thought of it wasn't so great. Having to expose myself. Thankfully it dawned on me. The efforts I put in willingly will continue to benefit me in this lifetime.

I had an earlier account so when trying to use a new verification inquiry, it would not let me set up a new account to to merge accounts. I can't be verified by Id.me although I have been verified before for the VA.
