ID Verify
What is ID Verify?
ID Verify is a process offered securely by Equifax that performs several checks tied to your consumer credit file, including verification of your social security and driver's license number, home address and telephone number. In addition, a soft inquiry is made into your credit file to verify your identity. You will need to identify certain installment and credit accounts, and their associated monthly payments. The ID Verification process is not a credit check, the credit information is for identification purposes. Your personal information is cross-checked against consumer and business databases for consistency. When your information is successfully verified, you will receive an ID Verify icon in your ad(s) and your member profile.
How do I become ID Verified?
Within your account, under “My Account”, select “ID Verification”. You can select either “Instant Approval – Equifax” or “Delayed Approval – E-Check”. Follow the onscreen instructions. There is a $5.00 fee for this process. Once you pass, you will be granted 1 free featured ad to replace this cost to you.
Why do I have to remove ID Verify to update my personal information?
When you became ID Verified, we verified your identity from that information. If you choose to change said information, we must verify that information before we can attach ID Verified status to your account.
