Before you can enroll in health coverage through Georgia Access, we need to verify your identity to protect you and your personal information.
Why do I need to verify my identity?
To protect your privacy, you will need to complete ID Verification successfully to proceed. By clicking 'Get Started' you are providing consent to Experian to access your personal information to conduct ID Verification on behalf of Georgia Access as required by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
Below are a few items to keep in mind:
- Ensure that you have entered your legal name, current home address, primary phone number, date of birth and email address correctly. We will only collect personal information to verify your identity with Experian, an external ID Verification provider.
- ID Verification involves Experian using information from your consumer report profile to help confirm your identity. As a result, you may see an entry called a 'soft inquiry' on your Experian consumer report. 'Soft inquiries' do not affect your credit score and you do not incur any charges related to them.
- You may need to have access to your personal information, as the Experian application will pose questions to you, based on data in their files.
When completing an application this information is collected during the identity verification steps:
Please enter the contact information of the primary household contact. Use complete name and residential address as it appears on legal documents. Do not enter business or P.O box address.
Important Note: While some of the information below is not required please provide as much information as possible to increase the likelihood of successful identity verification.
If we are unable to verify your identity you will be prompted to "Try Again Later or "Proceed with Manual Verification". You will be unable to continue with the application until you successfully complete identity verification.
