ID.me

ID.me is a digital identity network that provides NIST 800-63-3 IAL2/AAL2 identity verification, single sign-on, and group affiliation (community) verification for government agencies, healthcare, and commercial partners. For developers, ID.me exposes an OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0 identity provider (authorization code flow with PKCE, plus SAML 2.0 federation), a REST Services API for telecom and document verification, an Applications API, a Document Passback API, and a Shared Signals Framework (SSF) event stream for fraud and verification signals. Native iOS and Android SDKs, a button widget, conversion tracking, and multi-language sample code round out the developer surface, letting relying parties add strong identity proofing and attribute exchange to any application or IAM platform (Okta, Keycloak, Entra, PingOne, AWS Cognito).

ID.me publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Identity, Identity Verification, Authentication, and OpenID Connect.

The ID.me catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

ID.me’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, signup flow, authentication, sandbox, and 22 more developer resources.
