How to Verify Your Identity In-person at a USPS Location (2024)

Steps to Complete Your USPS Identity Verification:

1. While in MyUI+, choose USPS In-Person Verification as your way to verify your identity.
   
2. Click the link and complete your USPS registration.
   (Note: you must have an email address to complete this process)
   
3. Once you submit, USPS will show you a bar code/enrollment code - you will also receive an email from the Unemployment Insurance Division with this information.
   
   • You will have seven days to go in-person to a USPS office
     
   • You must bring with you:
     • Your bar code/enrollment code, which can be a printed page, screenshot or you can show the email with the code
     • Required ID verification documents (see details below)
     • Proof of your current address
       

4. If you pass this process, your claim will continue. You can check the status of your identity verification in MyUI+.

   If you fail to complete the USPS in-person process, you may be asked to verify your identity in-person with TrueID.
