DC Health & ID.me

DC (District of Columbia) Health works with ID.me to create a highly secure identity verification process that ensures you, and only you, will be able to access your health records. If the information you provided to the District of Columbia Immunization Information System (DOCIIS) is incorrect or incomplete, you will need to verify your identity with ID.me to access your COVID-19 Digital Vaccine Record.

ID.me’s role in this partnership is exclusively regarding identity verification. ID.me does not process requests for health records. This article explains how to verify with ID.me for DC Health.
