Automatic Identity Verification
OHIO EXCLUSIVE: The State of Ohio requires that parents, (if the student is under 18) verify their identity before the course can be started.
Automatic Identity Verification
We use a state-approved, trusted 3rd party provider to verify the identity of students, parents or guardians (depending on the age of the participant). In most cases, you can successfully have your identity verified if you:
- Have lived in the U.S. for at least 3 years
- Have a social security number
- Enter your name, date of birth, and address correctly
If you have recently moved, enter your OLD address with a longer residential history. After you have been verified, give us a call so we can make the correction to your address for you.
Do I need to enter my Social Security number (SSN)?
If you’re uncomfortable entering your SSN, you can use 000-00-0000. Providing your SSN improves automatic approval.
But if you don’t, you’ll likely need to submit an affidavit as part of the state validation process.
