Trouble during the verification process:

Confirm your verification was successful

Before contacting the retailer, confirm that your community verification was successful, and that you shared your information with them:

Go to the ID.me sign in page and sign in to your account.
Select Manage IDs and look to see if the community you tried to verify for displays under “Active IDs”. For example, look for a card that says Alumni, Employee, First Responder, Hospital Employee, Medical Provider, Military, Nurse, Student, or Teacher.

Keep in mind:

If a community card isn’t displayed, your verification wasn’t successful. Follow the steps in Verifying for a community to retry the verification process.
If your card displays under “Expired IDs”, you must reverify your community card.

Visit Managing the information you shared with an organization.

- Website name: The name of the retailer you shared your information with.
- Authorized: The date and time you shared your information.

Specify the offer you’re trying to redeem (e.g., 20% discount).
Include the product you want to purchase and whether it might be excluded from the offer.
