Verifying your nurse status

You will start the process in ID.me Shop, go to the retailer's shop for the offer you’re interested in, then follow the prompts on the retailer's page to complete verification and redeem your offer.

Eligibility

You are eligible to verify as a nurse if you graduated from a nursing program and met the requirements outlined by a country, state, province or similar licensing body to obtain a nursing license. For specific nurse job titles that are eligible, visit Nurse eligibility. 

Note: Certified medical assistants aren’t eligible to verify nurse status. Instead, verify your medical status.
