Can I verify my identity in person at a VA regional office?

Answer

You can verify your identity at your nearest VA regional office as part of the process of getting a Premium DS Logon account. You can then use this account to sign in to VA.gov without having to verify your identity online.

You’ll need to:

  • Bring 2 forms of ID that meet the requirements of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Form I-9. Accepted forms of ID include an unexpired U.S. passport and a current driver’s license.
    Find out what other documents are accepted
  • Make sure the VA regional office has your current address on file.

After your DS Logon request goes through, you’ll get a DS Logon activation letter by mail in 7 to 12 business days. Use the information from the letter to activate your account on the DS Logon self-service website.
