How do I verify my Government affiliation?

To verify employment at a federal, state or local government, first visit an ID.me partner offering a “government affiliation" or "government employment” deal or discount. Once you see the option to verify with ID.me, sign in; if you've never set up an account with ID.me, select Create account. From your ID.me account, you may verify with a government email, or by submitting valid documents. Select the option that works for you, and follow the respective steps below.
Option 1) Verify with you government email address
1. Select Begin and provide your government email address.
2. Complete the form with your information. 3. Select Continue and ID.me will send a verification email with a confirmation link. Allow up to 15 minutes for this email to arrive, and be sure to check your spam or junk folders if you do not see it in your primary inbox.
4. Open the email in a new browser tab or window and select Confirm your email. You can also copy and paste the verification URL provided.
