How to verify your identity
1
Your State-Issued ID. You can upload a photo of your ID by phone or by computer. Don't have a state issued ID?
2
Social Security number.
3
Your phone number. If we can't verify your phone number, you can verify by mail instead. This takes 5 to 10 days.
Make sure your ID is not expired or physically damaged. You will need to show your document during the verification so it is important that you have it at hand and do not go looking for it during the verification process. Choose the correct identity document type for the verification.
