1. How do I verify my identity? The IRS offers multiple ways to verify your identity with ID.me.

You can use either a self-service process that requires a photo of a government ID and selfie, or a live call with an ID.me video chat agent that doesn’t require biometric data. Any selfie, video, and/or biometric data will be deleted automatically, except for suspicious or fraudulent activity. If you need help verifying your identity or to submit a support ticket, you can visit the ID.me IRS Help Site.

If you use assistive technology such as a screen reader or have trouble taking photos, you may need assistance to complete the process. Find more information in our accessibility guide.

• What if I can’t verify my identity? If you need help verifying your identity or to submit a support ticket, you can visit the ID.me IRS Help Site.

If you can’t verify your identity online, please see our alternative options.

If you’re under 18 years old, the system doesn’t allow access.

If you get a message that says “A condition has been identified that’s preventing your access to this service,” this means you won’t be able to use the online service at this time.
