Using my wife's account information I was unable to establish an identity because I couldn't take a picture of her driver's license and/or insurance card.

Don't waste your time doing the whole ID.me process. It's not worth it after you've spent time sharing your personal data to verify your identity. The government agencies (SSN) or private companies (CVS) do not recognize ID.me

It is very glitchy. Survey only works for positive reviews so you are not getting accurate feedback. The live Rep saved me from a nervous breakdown. Shame on you guys

I had received an ID.ME account and login a number of years ago. But other than the initial login, I could not make it work for me. It said I had the wrong password, (even though it was the same one that allowed me in the first time I used it). I changed my password, still did not work. Finally I ended up registering again. As if I never had, everything went through fine at this point and I did manage to do what I needed to do, but I will believe it works after I have finished doing everything I need to do at a couple of other government type websites. Keeping my fingers crossed it all works because I do need to take care of this stuff.
AND NOW, we have the fun if trying to get into the IRS and Social Security website and even though we just managed to get him registered about a year ago, for some reason his login has been locked, also.
So the adventure continues...

I was confused but...
December 26, 2025

I was not clear on whether I needed to use my computer or my phone for the video verification but, somehow the person who did the video call made it happen!

IDME Again!
December 26, 2025

My account was suspended for an unknown reason. The AI assistant was useless, a waste of time. I was forced to re-enter and reset my passwords to access my accounts.

Worked well once I figured out that they texted my control number when I went to that step, not immediately after I clicked the button requesting the MFI be a text.

Extremely happy with ID.me
December 26, 2025

I spent over a week and over 30 trying to get into my SSA account through Login.gov. I got numerous fails, error messages, photos not good enough, etc. etc. The SSA agent told me to try ID.me instead, and I was able to sign up and get verified within 30 minutes. Although my camera is older/cheap, I was able to take photos that were approved, and then finished up with a video call with their agent.

Overkill $
December 26, 2025

It was a little frustrating, but I got through it. I think it was a little overkill, but that's just me. I guess I was just upset because I couldn't get my funds until I completed this.
